Rare 18K Gold Roberge Diamond Watch – One-of-a-Kind w/ Unverified Royal Connecti
$ 9240.0
Description
Offered here is a truly unique collector’s piece: a Roberge Swiss-made women’s watch, handcrafted in 18 karat gold and adorned with 102 dazzling diamonds. The asymmetric, teardrop-shaped design is both bold and elegant, wrapping fluidly around the wrist with a vintage serpentine-style bracelet that enhances its sculptural quality. This particular watch is said to have been specially commissioned as a gift for Diana, Princess of Wales—though she ultimately never received it. While this royal provenance remains unsubstantiated, the story only adds to the intrigue and mystique of this already rare timepiece. Roberge, known for its artisanal craftsmanship and avant-garde designs, is no longer in operation, making this piece all the more desirable for collectors and connoisseurs of fine jewelry and horology. Though currently not functioning, the watch retains its value as an extraordinary work of wearable art and a conversation piece steeped in elegance and history. A must-have for any serious collector of Princess Diana memorabilia or unique vintage jewelry. Roberge is “Swiss Made” visible on the dial, which is a protected designation. For a watch to legally bear that label, it must meet strict criteria established by Swiss law, including that: • Its movement is Swiss, • The movement is encased in Switzerland, and • The final inspection takes place in Switzerland. Roberge was a Swiss watch brand, based in Geneva, known for limited-production luxury timepieces with distinctive, often unconventional designs. They operated quietly and catered to a niche high-end market before eventually ceasing operations.
