About the Item
Fine and rare Art Deco period diamond and platinum pendant watch by C.H. Meylan on long, beautiful diamond and 18K white gold chain.
Early 20th Century
Charles-Henri Meylan is a storied name in the field of fine watchmaking, connected with Patek Philippe, Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Audemers Piguet, H. Moser & Cie and Van Cleef & Arpels. In 2008, his Henry Graves Supercomplication set a record for the most expensive American watch when it was sold at Sotheby's for $266,500 ($50,000-70,000). The largest currently known collection of C.H. Meylan watches, over 200 pieces, is owned by Georges-Henry Meylan, a distant relative of Charles-Henri. Georges-Henri led Audemars Piguet for over two decades and is the Chairman of MELB Holdings, which owns H. Moser & Cie.

The open-work case of the pendant lapel watch features approximately 1.50 TCW of full-cut and single-cut diamonds with black enamel accents, suspended from a horizontal diamond bar brooch. The back reveals a watch with Arabic numerals, pearl white dial, black enamel birds in flight amidst stylized clouds and a dynamic black enamel dragon. Mounted in platinum.
Marks: Gubelin, Lucerne, Swiss signed on dial; French assay mark
Condition: Very Good- diamonds fully intact; the watch is in working order, not guaranteed to keep exact time; age appropriate wear to enamel.
