Posted by in magnificent
OFFERED WITH NO RESERVE LOOK AT THE SCANS OF THIS VERY SCARCE, 18-KARAT SOLID GOLD, 18-SIZE (51mm in diameter), HIGH GRADE JULES JURGENSEN COPENHAGEN SWISS MADE POCKET WATCH WITH ORIGINAL PRESENTATION BOX AND PAPERWORK! THIS WATCH IN IS VERY NEAR MINT CONDITION PERFECT GLASS PORCELAIN JULES JURGENSEN COPENHAGEN SIGNED DIAL! THIS WATCH RUNS PERFECTLY AND KEEPS EXCELLENT TIME. THIS WATCH LEFT THE FACTORY IN 1860 AND WAS A KEY WIND AND KEY SET POCKET WATCH. THE STORY I WAS TOLD BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER IS THAT AROUND THE TURN OF THE CENTURY Mr. STORY DECIDED THAT HE PREFERED THE NEW KEYLESS WATCHES BUT COULD NOT FIND ONE OF THIS QUALITY SO HE HAD A MASTER WATCH MAKER (not known if it was a Jules Jurgensen watch maker) CONVERT THIS WATCH TO PENDANT WIND AND LEVER SET. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE JOB HE DID AND WAS OBVIOUSLY A VERY TALENTED & SKILLED WATCHMAKER. HE THEN HAD A MASTER JEWELER FILL IN THE TWO WHOLES WHERE THE KEYS WERE INSERTED THROUGH THE DUST COVER TO WIND AND SET THE WATCH. IT IS A NEARLY PERFECT CONVERSION AND MASTERFULLY DONE. THIS WATCH IS NOW STEM WIND AND LEVER SET. IT WINDS AND SETS NICELY. THE ORIGINAL ROSE WOOD BOX IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION, ESPECIALLY FOR BEING 156 YEARS OLD. THE INSIDE LINER IS SIGNED JULES JURGENSEN COPENHAGEN. A HUGE NUMBER 9039 IS STENCILED ON THE BACK OF THE BOX, THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE WATCH. THERE IS A THIN BRASS BAR THAT RUNS ALONG THE FRONT OF THE CASE THAT IS ALSO SIGNED JULES JURGENSEN COPENHAGEN. THE ORIGINAL FACTORY PAPER IS SIGNED JULES JURGENSEN CHRONOMETER and WATCH MAKER. This is to certify that the accompanying Patent Watch No. 9039 has been manufactured in my establishment. Copenhagen, the 12 Jan. 1860 and then signed by Jules Jurgensen. BOTH THE SOLID 18-KARAT GOLD BACK COVER AND INNER DUST COVER HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER 9039. THE NUMBER IS ALSO SIGNED UNDER THE DIAL. THIS WATCH IS JUST BEAUTIFUL! THIS IS THE VERY DESIREABLE HUNTING CASE MODEL IN SOLID HEAVY 18-KARAT GOLD FULLY HALLMARKED NUMBERS MATCHING 100% AUTHENTIC IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION KEEPING PERFECT TIME! IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS INCREDIBLE WATCH IS 156 YEARS OLD AND SURVIVED WITH THE ORIGINAL FACTORY PAPER AND FACTORY BOX 1860, THE VERY HEIGHT OF THE JULES JURGENSEN FAME WHEN THEY WERE MAKING THE FINEST WATCHES IN THE WORLD. RARELY SEEN OUTSIDE OF THE BIG AUCTIONS! A MUSEUM QUALITY PIECE. HARD TO FIND JULES JURGENSEN! SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE VERY PLEASED.
