A Sterling Silver piece by esteemed jeweller Roy King, winner of two first prizes, a second and a third at the British Modern Jewellery Exhibition in 1961. The winning pieces are now in the permanent collection of Goldsmith’s Hall
Alongside the renowned Anglo-Italian jeweller Andrew Grima, King was a pioneer of the ‘Bark Effect’, a desirable finish that lead to the acquisition of his pieces by celebrities such as Tom Jones and George Harrison, with Pattie Boyd (Harrison’s then wife) wearing one of King’s wedding bands to their ceremony
The black minimalist dial is decorated with silvered baton hands and King’s signature
Reminiscent of the Rolex Cellini 4012, the watch features a professionally polished Sterling Silver ridged case and bezel
The case-back is boldly hallmarked and tells us the watch was assayed in London in 1975
