Rare, Men's 14K Yellow Gold Hunter Style Pocket Watch from Pavel Buhre in Excellent Working Condition, Late 19th Century/Early 20th. Beautiful Russian 14K yellow gold, luxury, hunter style watch by Pavel Buhre from the late 19th Century/Early 20th in original box. Case is marked 585 and on the cuvette is inscribed in Russian "Pavel Buhre, Supplier to the Court of His Highness No. 153201. Mechanical hand-winding and keeping perfect time, also know the face is bright white with Roman Numerals, the 14K gold outer case and interior cuvettes are quite clean and with minimum wear. This is an excellent antique timepiece in its original box which is in good condition. There is adhesive remnant atop box, possibly a plaque was removed.
SPECIAL NOTE. This pocket watch is being sold as an antique timepiece. We note there are initials of Stalin, Trotsky and one other as if a presentation to Lenin inscribed inside case. We do not consider the inscription legitimate. The elaborate monogram on the pocket watch cover are allegedly those of Lenin before taking that alias. We cannot verify that either. Further there is no provenance to any of these claims.
But the 14K watch and original box are legitimate and a stunning example of Buhre's exceptional watch making skills. 47 mm with a total gross weight of 112.20 grams. Again in excellent working condition
Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000
