Description Material: Rose Gold
Antique Gold Watch Albert…. This is a superb opportunity to buy a rare and fabulous extra long double Victorian / Edwardian watch Albert in solid 9ct gold which comes with an Antique leather presentation case. This lovely, heavy pocket watch chain weighs in at a whopping 84.6g and is actually made up of two Alberts of the same shade of rose gold colour. I am deducing that this was probably done for a wealthy portly man (someone like Churchill perhaps!). Both have graduated links, one having slightly larger/smaller links than the other - which would not be noticeable when worn (see the picture where I have laid both lengths side by side so that you can see the difference and you will see what I mean). The links are of a heavy guage gold and you can see that from the condition ie no dings or dents. It has a central T bar and two traditional dog/swivel clips either end of the equal lengths of chain.
I love the colour of this Albert – it is a lovely soft rose gold colour with a touch of coppery rose - not like the harsh red gold of modern days – superbly mellow and unmatched by the colour of modern gold.This is a superb Albert with each link on this chain individually stamped 9 and .375 for 9ct Gold – a testament to the quality. Antique watch Alberts are becoming harder to come by these days (double ones in good condition especially), the price of gold has sadly seen many traded in and melted down because of their weight. This is such a shame as Alberts are a great piece of wearable jewellery that can be passed down generation to generation as a family heirloom. I do believe that wedding grooms are buying them to wear with a pocket watch and antique cufflinks on their wedding day. What a lovely idea and how romantic to think that they could be passed on to the next generation. I love the thought of that........... Length: 29" 75cm Weight: 84.5g Circa. 1900 M590
