I have an unexpected acquisition of this yellow gold cloisonne dial world time.
Nearly all of my collection were acquired new from AD. When my AD could allocate 5131 to me, the J and G had already discontinued. Hence I don’t expect to be able to acquire them to complement my R and P.
Attended an auction preview with my wife during a cyclone signal in last weekend. We came across a J in perfect like new condition and most attractively, with an uncommon dial version.
Best of all, my other half also loved it and granted me approval to bid. That’s totally unexpected.
Absentee bid was placed at the low estimate. Somehow there was another unexpected cyclone signal during the live auction on last Wednesday, therefore I could stay at home to watch the event. I decided to slightly increase my bid just before the start of auction and luckily outbid my opponent. Here it is…… with this beauty on my wrist.
Best, Henry
