17th-century pocket watch made for James VI and I heads to Bonhams
Bonhams will offer a 17th-century pocket watch handcrafted by royal clockmaker David Ramsay for King James VI and I in December. The historic piece is estimated to fetch up to $469,000.
This is a rare royal timepiece with strong historical provenance, which can drive collector interest and auction attention. The estimate also indicates the market’s appetite for important early horology.
