I have always been fascinated with timepieces since I was a teenager, perhaps due to their seeming complexity and precision- I have never worn a battery-operated wristwatch quite simply because I find it a chore replacing the battery -- IF I can find a replacement; I prefer a self-wind! This reference source is a must have for anyone interested in AP watches, and will help complete their personal database of these marvels of technology - and pure unadulterated luxury!

The cover is an extra heavy embossed white stock, which could not have been scanned to be able to see anything, so the above scan is of the printed part of the first page.

For well over 20 years I have been adding these extremely well illustrated, frequently monographic auction catalogues as reference sources to my personal library, and was always absolutely thrilled to find something dealing with my eclectic interests. As with many of the books in my research library, I frequently, when possible, obtained duplicate copies, as I like to have one to use and another as a back-up. They are really a UNIQUE source for hard-to-find data and for use as identification guides, usually containing information about the size, media, dates, styles, signatures, estimated values, and often data on the artist or maker. Older catalogues on specialized subjects are usually extremely difficult to find because knowledgeable collectors had already acquired them as invaluable reference sources when they first appeared!

Book in EXCELLENT Condition!!
