An insane 1973 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 super clean minimalist Black dial is decorated with silvered baton hands and King’s signature in white lettering
The solid silver monocoque case remains in wonderful shape while the case back bears bold hallmarks for London 1974
The HEAVY lugged curb link bracelet is presented in excellent condition. It boasts bold hallmarks to two of the links (the walking lion for England) as well as more in depth assay and fineness markings (London 1973) to both ends of King’s iconic buckle clasp fastening
The Swiss made, manual wind FHF cal.69 movement runs smoothly and keeps good time
