LOUIS AUDEMARS KING UMBERTO I OF ITALY PRESENTATION WATCH WITH SIX COMPLICATIONS Louis Audemars, Brassus & Genève, “Quantieme Perpetuel Phase de Lune Repetition Minutes”, case No. 0252. Made for Umberto I, King of Italy, retailed by Victor Fleury, Hger de la Marine, 23 Rue de la Paix, Paris, circa 1890. Extremely fine and very rare, minute-repeating, 18K rose gold, champlevé enamel and diamond-set, keyless Royal presentation pocket watch with perpetual calendar, moon phases and lunar calendar. Four body, bassine, polished, the back cover with the champlevé enameled diamond-set coat of arms of Umberto I, King of Italy. Hinged gold cuvette engraved with the technical details. White enamel with radial Roman numerals, outer minute track with Arabic fi ve-minute numerals, subsidiary dials for the seconds, date, days of the week and months with leap-year cycle, aperture for the moon phases with lunar calendar on the edge. Gold spade hands. Notes The present watch would appear to be the most complicated of those made by Louis Audemars for King Umberto I to be offered at auction. These watches were commissioned by the King in order to be presented to important visitors or in recognition of loyalty. Other watches by Louis Audemars for King Umberto were sold by Antiquorum in Geneva on April 2, 2006, lot 486 and March 20, 2010, lot 85. Vacheron & Constantin and Patek Philippe also made such watches for King Umberto. King Umberto I (1844-1900) Was born on March 14, 1844, in Turin
