This incredibly rare watch comes to us directly from a highly decorated member of the Parachute Regiment that has served in operations all over the world, including in Afghanistan. Offered exclusively to members of the Parachute Regiment, this was retailed and purchased via Andrew Michael's Jewellers who specialise in providing limited edition watches for Military, Navy, Aviation and Security Service clientele.
The lot is offered alongside a handsome number of personal military artefacts from the vendor commemorating his time within the regiment and on operations. These include the iconic maroon beret, photographs, medal ribbons and badges.
This example is only the second to come to market, the first being auctioned through Sotheby's in 2023 and achieving a hammer price of £53,340. Viewing for this lot is by appointment only.
