Sold 292-4337 Pocket watch: significant, important early Breguet with repeater and ruby cylinder, rare special case, with extract Ca. Ø49mm, ca. 92.3g, 18K gold, extremely rare special case shape, à-goutte rim fluted on both sides, very solid quality, Tavernier case maker’s mark No. 2487, Breguet mark 1844, dome signed Breguet 1844, ruby cylinder movement with quarter repeater, original enamelled dial with secret Breguet 1844 signature, Breguet steel hands, tiny chip on the dial screw, otherwise in excellent condition and in working order. According to the Breguet certificate, sold in 1806 for 1,800 francs to Monsieur Stefanaki. This case design is extremely rare. The watch bears a resemblance to the technically identical No. 1736 belonging to Prince Troubetzkoi, which was auctioned in 1991 for 42,000 Swiss francs. It is likely that this case design was manufactured specifically for Eastern European clients. Prince Stefanaki was a prominent Breguet client and purchased several important Breguet watches. Knjaz Stefan Bogoridi, known as Stefanaki Bey (Prince Stefanaki) Stefan Bogoridi was born in Kotel in 1775 and died in Istanbul on 1 August 1859. He was a grandson of Sophronius of Vraza, brother of Atanas Bogoridi and father of Aleksandar and Nikola Bogoridi. Stefan Bogoridi was a Phanariot of Bulgarian origin, a foreign policy adviser to two sultans and a member of the Tanzimat Council. As a young boy, he was sent by his family to Bucharest to attend the famous Colegiul Sfântul Sava, where he replaced his birth name, Stojko, with Stefan. He adopted the name Bogoridi in honour of Tsar Boris I. After leaving college, Bogoridi worked for several years as a teacher in Istanbul. In 1799, he joined the Ottoman Navy as a dragoman. In 1812, he was brought to Moldavia by Prince Scarlat Callimachi. There, until 1819, he served as prefect of Galați on the lower Danube, where a large Bulgarian community in exile lived. During the Filiki Eteria and the subsequent Greek Revolution, Bogoridi governed Wallachia as kaymakam (a kind of governor) from the autumn of 1821 until July 1822. Following the counter-offensive by Ottoman troops, he was appointed kaymakam of the Principality of Moldavia in 1822. Between 1823 and 1828, he once again served as dragoman in the Ottoman fleet. Following the Russo-Ottoman War (1828–1829), he took part in the negotiations for the Treaty of Adrianople as a member of the Ottoman delegation. In recognition of his services during this period, he was appointed foreign policy adviser by Sultan Mahmud II. Over the following 30 years, he was involved in all major decisions and negotiations at the Sublime Porte. Stefan Bogoridi was one of the signatories of the London Protocol, which sealed Greece’s sovereignty. During this period, Sultan Mahmud II elevated Bogoridi to the rank of knjaz (German: Fürst; Turkish: Bey). In 1834, he was appointed by the Sultan as governor of the island of Samos. Bogoridi renamed the island’s capital, Vathy, to Stefanopolis. Under Abdülmecid I, Bogoridi not only remained an adviser to the Sultan but also became a member of the Tanzimat Council. He was regarded as one of the most influential reformers and played a key role in reforming the millet system, ensuring that the non-Muslim population of the Ottoman Empire was granted greater rights.

Sold 292-4339 Pocket watch: extremely rare Breguet deck chronometer ‘GARDE-TEMPS D’ARGENT’, Paris 1832, with certificate 3-piece wooden box with bone plate No. 4877, watch case ca.

Sold 292-4358 Pocket watch/dress watch: extremely rare Patek Philippe ‘Gilbert Albert’ with original Gay Frères watch chain, ca. 1960 Approx. 35 x 35 mm, total weight ca. 52 g, 18K gold, case with corded edge matching the original chain, Ref. 784/2493, hand-wound, Calibre 10-200, silvered sector dial, gold hands, excellent original condition, in working order. Patek Philippe’s Reference 785 was produced only from 1960 to 1964 in 18K yellow or rose gold. The case was crafted by F. Baumgartner, whilst the design was created in 1959 by the brilliant designer Gilbert Albert, whose unique works are equally sought after by collectors and museums alike. Patek Philippe brought the young Geneva-based jewellery designer Gilbert Albert on board in 1955; the aim of this collaboration was to create a range of unusual and eye-catching watches. Albert was an exceptionally talented artist with a passionate affinity for modern art, such as the works of Brancusi and Mondrian; the unusual and daring cases he created for Patek Philippe continue to fascinate the viewer today just as much as they did on the day of their creation.

Sold 292-4360 Wristwatch: very early Audemars Piguet rattrapante chronograph, ca. 1926–1929 Ca. Ø46mm, 18K gold, coat of arms engraved on the back, case and movement bear the same number 37518, early lugs, lower lug showing signs of repair, hinged case back, case, movement and dial signed, very fine calibre with 22 jewels and fine adjustment, dial with Breguet numerals, 30-minute counter, gold hands, leather strap, in working order and very well preserved. The earliest wristwatch split-seconds chronograph was produced by Patek Philippe as a one-off in 1923, with series production commencing in 1927. Based on its reference number, this Audemars Piguet chronograph was manufactured between 1926 and 1929, making it one of the earliest wristwatch split-seconds chronographs. In some cases, pocket watches were modified to create early chronographs. This is likely a one-off piece made to a customer’s specification with a modified case. Audemars Piguet did not produce any wristwatches with split-seconds chronographs in series production at that time. Hammerprice: 11.500 €
