With Glashütte Original Certificate of Genuineness dated 10 December 1997, sales tag, gold chain, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
The present Glashütte Original - Julius Assmann 2 is preserved in like new condition and is one of the very few examples of this limited edition to appear at public auction to date. It is interesting to note that no. 03/25 was sold at Christie's Geneva on 16 May 2000 for CHF70,500, lot 190.
The Glashütte Original - Julius Assmann 2 model was launched in 1997 and made in an exceedingly small limited edition of 25 examples only, each with a unique Meissen porcelain dial. The watch was the result of the collaboration between two of the most celebrated, traditional Saxonian manufacturers, the watch company Glashütte Original and the porcelain manufacturer Meissen.
The finely engraved calibre 52 movement resembles movements used in antique pocketwatches made for the Chinese market. Its ingenious case system allows using this exquisite timepiece either as wristwatch or as a pocketwatch suspended from the original solid 18K pink gold chain.
The extremely thin dials made from finest Meissen porcelain are decorated with hand-painted motifs from the workbook of the famous Meissen porcelain painter Johann Gregorius Höroldt (1696-1775). Each dial is unique. The Meissen - Höroldt '96 book accompanying this watch explains and illustrates the work of Johann Gregorious Höroldt and the Meissen porcelain manufacture.
