This Burberrys watch was made to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh Award, at an event hosted at Mansion House and attended by HRH.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the motif on the case back we can accurately date this watch to an even being held at Mansion House on the 11th June 1991. Mansion house is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London, and dates back to 1740. The Lord Mayor of London is a different position to the Mayor of London, but it is easy to be confused on that given the similarities in the names. You can read more about Mansion House here.
CONDITION
The watch appears unworn, and is as good an example of this type of watch you are ever likely to find – even without the extra history details. The crest on the dial is for the Duke of Edinburgh Award. We can’t confirm how many of these were made, or to whom they were gifted/awarded or bought by, but he numbers are likely to be very limited. We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner. The leather strap is unworn.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
