This watch is particularly rare as it still retains its front cover, as during the 18th century there was a strong demand for open face watches and many were replaced with rock crystal fronts. The movement bears the signature Jean Rousseau (1606-1684) who was the great-grandfather of the famous philosopher Jean-Jaques Rousseau (1712-1778).
Jean Rousseau is particularly noted for his form watches and he was
Master of the Clockmaker’s Company in Geneva. His sons also followed in their father’s footsteps and apprenticed by him, became watchmakers, lapidaries and makers of crystal cases, engravers and goldsmiths.
This watch has remained in the current vendor’s family for many generations, possibly back as far as the 1790’s where the chatelaine was added.

George Graham. A rare and historically significant gilt brass movement with early cylinder escapement in later 18ct gold consular case
Number 5193, movement circa 1725, later case hallmarked London

George Graham during finishing, gilt brass dust cap with concealed locking mechanism, later white enamel dial with black Roman numerals probably dates to the same time as the case, rose metal beetle and poker hands (minute hand broken), plain later case with maker’s mark II probably that of Joshua Jackson who registered with the office in May

In around 1725/26 Graham switched sharply from using verge to cylinder escapements in his watches. Recorded examples that have come to light so far end with a verge at number 5175, and begin again with a cylinder at number 5182. Before this the second known example of a
Graham watch with cylinder escapement was number 5195 making this example, manufactured two in line before, the second earliest example of a Graham cylinder watch known to have survived to date.
In addition, this watch is complete with original dust cover fitted with the full ‘secret’ locking mechanism. It is commonly believed that this
‘secret’ lock was used by Graham on his early cylinders to keep his technological advance hidden from competitors for as long as possible.
As, by its nature, it prevented owners from inspecting the quality of the movement many surviving examples have had the mechanism cut out. Previously, the first recorded intact example was number 5227 which was of a modified design, making 5193 the first example with full mechanism and the best indicator we have so far of how the first generation of ‘secret’ locking would have worked.
We would like to thank Jeremy Evans for his kind assistance in the research of this watch.

This watch features in Hans Staeger’s 1997 publication “100 Years of
Precision Timekeepers from John Arnold to Arnold and Frodsham, 1763 -
1862”, and is catalogued on page 192.
This watch was one of the seven taken by the Astronomer Royal, Nevil
Maskerlayne’s assistant Joseph Lindley to Paris and back on tests in 1785.
John Arnold (1736-1799) was apprenticed to his father in Cornwall and established himself in London in around 1760. He was admitted to the Clockmakers’ Company in 1783. Arnold was the first to employ the term chronometer in the modern sense and who successfully found the way to simplify Harrison’s timekeeper design. In 1787 he took his son,
John Roger Arnold, into partnership, changing the business name to
“Arnold & Son”, which it retained until his death.

The present Submariner is a particularly rare version of the reference
5512 model. The Explorer dial Submariners were believed to be produced in very small numbers during the late 1950’s early 1960’s.
Rolex literature from this period shows this dial variation but exact production numbers are not known. (a similar example was sold in these rooms 2nd December 2009, lot 233)
The rarity of this present watch is further enhanced by the very small minute markers; and it is believed to be one of only two currently known to collectors with this dial printing.
This watch was purchased in London in 1966 by the current owner.

Rolex had problems with the Bakelite bezels found on the Ref: 6542 as they were brittle and were prone to damage. They were often replaced with the metal insert, which was found on the Ref:1675 which superseded this model.

NOTICE TO BIDDERS
This notice is addressed by Bonhams to any person who may be interested in a Lot , including Bidders and potential Bidders
(including any eventual Buyer of the Lot ). For ease of reference we refer to such persons as “Bidders” or “you”. Our List of
Definitions and Glossary is incorporated into this Notice to
Bidders . It is at Appendix 3 at the back of the Catalogue.
Where words and phrases are used in this notice which are in the List of Definitions, they are printed in italics.
IMPORTANT: Additional information applicable to the Sale may be set out in the Catalogue for the Sale , in an insert in the Catalogue and/or in a notice displayed at the Sale venue and you should read them as well. Announcements affecting the Sale may also be given out orally before and during the
Sale without prior written notice. You should be alert to the possibility of changes and ask in advance of bidding if there have been any.
1. OUR ROLE
In its role as Auctioneer of Lots, Bonhams acts solely for and in the interests of the Seller . Bonhams’ job is to sell the Lot at the highest price obtainable at the Sale to a Bidder. Bonhams does not act for Buyers or Bidders in this role and does not give advice to Buyers or Bidders. When it or its staff make statements about a Lot or, if Bonhams provides a Condition
Report on a Lot it is doing that on behalf of the Seller of the
Lot. Bidders and Buyer s who are themselves not expert in the Lots are strongly advised to seek and obtain independent advice on the Lots and their value before bidding for them.
The Seller has authorised Bonhams to sell the Lot as its agent on its behalf and, save where we expressly make it clear to the contrary, Bonhams acts only as agent for the Seller . Any statement or representation we make in respect of a Lot is made on the Seller’s behalf and, unless Bonhams sells a Lot as principal, not on our behalf and any Contract for Sale is between the Buyer and the Seller and not with us. If Bonhams sells a Lot as principal this will either be stated in the Catalogue or an announcement to that effect will be made by the
Auctioneer , or it will be stated in a notice at the Sale or an insert in the Catalogue.
Bonhams does not owe or undertake or agree to any duty or responsibility to you in contract or tort (whether direct, collateral, express, implied or otherwise). If you successfully bid for a Lot and buy it, at that stage Bonhams does enter into an agreement with the Buyer . The terms of that contract are set out in our Buyer’s Agreement, which you will find at Appendix
2 at the back of the Catalogue. This will govern Bonhams’ relationship with the Buyer .
2. LOTS
Subject to the Contractual Description printed in bold letters in the Entry about the Lot in the Catalogue (see paragraph 3 below), Lots are sold to the Buyer on an “as is” basis, with all faults and imperfections. Illustrations and photographs contained in the Catalogue (other than photographs forming part of the Contractual Description ) or elsewhere of any Lots are for identification purposes only. They may not reveal the true condition of the Lot . A photograph or illustration may not reflect an accurate reproduction of the colour(s) of the Lot . Lots are available for inspection prior to the Sale and it is for you to satisfy yourself as to each and every aspect of a Lot , including its authorship, attribution, condition, provenance, history, background, authenticity, style, period, age, suitability, quality, roadworthiness (if relevant), origin, value and estimated selling price (including the Hammer Price ). It is your responsibility to examine any Lot in which you are interested. It should be remembered that the actual condition of a Lot may not be as good as that indicated by its outward appearance. In particular, parts may have been replaced or renewed and Lots may not be authentic or of satisfactory quality; the inside of a Lot may not be visible and may not be original or may be damaged, as for example where it is covered by upholstery or material.
Given the age of many Lots they may have been damaged and/ or repaired and you should not assume that a Lot is in good condition. Electronic or mechanical parts may not operate or may not comply with current statutory requirements. You should not assume that electrical items designed to operate on mains electricity will be suitable for connection to the mains electricity supply and you should obtain a report from a qualified electrician on their status before doing so. Such items which are unsuitable for connection are sold as items of interest for display purposes only. If you yourself do not have expertise regarding a Lot , you should consult someone who does to advise you. We can assist in arranging facilities for you to carry out or have carried out more detailed inspections and tests. Please ask our staff for details.
Any person who damages a Lot will be held liable for the loss caused.
3. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS AND ESTIMATES
Contractual Description of a Lot
The Catalogue contains an Entry about each Lot . Each Lot is sold by its respective Seller to the Buyer of the Lot as corresponding only with that part of the Entry which is printed in bold letters and (except for the colour, which may be inaccurately reproduced) with any photograph of the Lot in the
Catalogue. The remainder of the Entry , which is not printed in bold letters, represents Bonhams’ opinion (given on behalf of the Seller ) about the Lot only and is not part of the Contractual
Description in accordance with which the Lot is sold by the
Seller.
Estimates
In most cases, an Estimate is printed beside the Entry . Estimate s are only an expression of Bonhams ’ opinion made on behalf of the Seller of the range where Bonhams thinks the Hammer
Price for the Lot is likely to fall; it is not an estimate of value.
It does not take into account any VAT or Buyer ’s Premium payable. Lots can in fact sell for Hammer Price s below and above the Estimate . Any Estimate should not be relied on as an indication of the actual selling price or value of a Lot . Estimate s are in the currency of the Sale .
Condition Reports
In respect of most Lots , you may ask for a Condition Report on its physical condition from Bonhams . If you do so, this will be provided by Bonhams on behalf of the Seller free of charge.
Bonhams is not entering into a contract with you in respect of the Condition Report and accordingly does not assume responsibility to you in respect of it. Nor does the Seller owe or agree to owe you as a Bidder any obligation or duty in respect of this free report about a Lot, which is available for your own inspection or for inspection by an expert instructed by you.
However, any written description of the physical condition of the Lot contained in a Condition Report will form part of the
Contractual Description of the Lot under which it is sold to any Buyer .
The Seller’s responsibility to you
The Seller does not make or agree to make any representation of fact or contractual promise, guarantee or warranty and undertakes no obligation or duty, whether in contract or in tort (other than to the eventual Buyer as set out above), in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any statement or representation made by him or on his behalf, which is in any way descriptive of any Lot or as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot . Other than as set out above, no statement or representation in any way descriptive of a
Lot or any Estimate is incorporated into any Contract for Sale between a Seller and a Buyer .
Bonhams’ responsibility to you
You have the opportunity of examining the Lot if you want to and the Contract for Sale for a Lot is with the Seller and not with Bonhams ; Bonhams acts as the Seller ’s agent only (unless
Bonhams sells the Lot as principal).
Bonhams undertakes no obligation to you to examine, investigate or carry out any tests, either in sufficient depth or at all, on each Lot to establish the accuracy or otherwise of any descriptions or opinions given by Bonhams , or by any person on Bonhams’ behalf, whether in the Catalogue or elsewhere.
You should not suppose that such examinations, investigations or tests have occurred.
Bonhams does not make or agree to make any representation of fact, and undertakes no obligation or duty (whether in contract or tort) in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any statement or representation made by Bonhams or on
Bonhams’ behalf which is in any way descriptive of any Lot or as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot .
No statement or representation by Bonhams or on its behalf in any way descriptive of any Lot or any Estimate is incorporated into our Buyer ’s Agreement.
Alterations
Description s and Estimate s may be amended at Bonhams ’ discretion from time to time by notice given orally or in writing before or during a Sale .
THE LOT IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AND YOU MUST
FORM YOUR OWN OPINION IN RELATION TO IT. YOU ARE
STRONGLY ADVISED TO EXAMINE ANY LOT OR HAVE IT
EXAMINED ON YOUR BEHALF BEFORE THE SALE .
4. CONDUCT OF THE SALE
Our Sales are public auctions which persons may attend and you should take the opportunity to do so. We do reserve the right at our sole discretion to refuse admission to our premises or to any Sale without stating a reason. We have complete discretion as to whether the Sale proceeds, whether any Lot is included in the Sale , the manner in which the Sale is conducted and we may offer Lots for sale in any order we choose notwithstanding the numbers given to Lots in the Catalogue .
You should therefore check the date and starting time of the
Sale , whether there have been any withdrawals or late entries.
Remember that withdrawals and late entries may affect the time at which a Lot you are interested in is put up for Sale .
We have complete discretion to refuse any bid, to nominate any bidding increment we consider appropriate, to divide any
Lot , to combine two or more Lots , to withdraw any Lot from a
Sale and, in the case of dispute, to put up any Lot for auction again. Auction speeds can exceed 100 Lots to the hour and bidding increments are generally about 10%. However these do vary from Sale to Sale and from Auctioneer to Auctioneer .
Please check with the department organising the Sale for advice on this. Where a Reserve has been applied to a Lot , the
Auctioneer may, in his absolute discretion, place bids (up to an amount not equalling or exceeding such Reserve ) on behalf of the Seller . We are not responsible to you in respect of the presence or absence of any Reserve in respect of any Lot . If there is a Reserve it will normally be no higher than the lower figure for any Estimate in the Catalogue , assuming that the currency of the Reserve has not fluctuated adversely against the currency of the Estimate . The Buyer will be the Bidder who makes the highest bid acceptable to the Auctioneer for any Lot
(subject to any applicable Reserve ) to whom the Lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer at the fall of the Auctioneer ’s hammer.
Any dispute as to the highest acceptable bid will be settled by the Auctioneer in his absolute discretion. All bids tendered will relate to the actual Lot number announced by the Auctioneer .
An electronic currency converter may be used at the Sale . This equipment is provided as a general guide as to the equivalent amount in certain currencies of a given bid. We do not accept any responsibility for any errors which may occur in the use of the currency converter. We may use video cameras to record the Sale and may record telephone calls for reasons of security and to assist in solving any disputes which may arise in relation to bids made at the Sale. At some Sales , for example, jewellery
Sales , we may use screens on which images of the Lots will be projected. This service is provided to assist viewing at the Sale .
The image on the screen should be treated as an indication only of the current Lot . It should be noted that all bids tendered will relate to the actual Lot number announced by the
Auctioneer . We do not accept any responsibility for any errors which may occur in the use of the screen.
5. BIDDING
We do not accept bids from any person who has not completed and delivered to us one of our Bidding Forms , either our Bidder Registration Form, Absentee Bidding Form or Telephone Bidding Form. You will be asked for proof of identity, residence, financial details and references, which, when asked for, you must supply if your bids are to be accepted by us. Please bring your passport, driving license (or similar photographic proof of identity) and a debit or credit card. We may request a deposit from you before allowing you to bid. We may refuse entry to a Sale to any person even if that person has completed a Bidding Form .
Bidding in person
You should come to our Bidder registration desk at the Sale venue and fill out a Bidder Registration Form on (or, if possible, before) the day of the Sale. The bidding number system is sometimes referred to as “paddle bidding”. You will be issued with a large card (a “paddle”) with a printed number on it.
This will be attributed to you for the purposes of the Sale .
Should you be a successful Bidder you will need to ensure that your number can be clearly seen by the Auctioneer and that it is your number which is identified as the Buyer’s . You should not let anyone else use your paddle as all Lots will be invoiced to the name and address given on your Bidder Registration
Form. Once an invoice is issued it will not be changed. If there is any doubt as to the Hammer Price of, or whether you are the successful Bidder of, a particular Lot , you must draw this to the attention of the Auctioneer before the next Lot is offered for
Sale . At the end of the Sale , or when you have finished bidding please return your paddle to the Bidder registration desk.
Bidding by telephone (only available on lots with a low estimate greater than £400)
If you wish to bid at the Sale by telephone, please complete a
Telephone Bidding Form, which is available from our offices or in the Catalogue . Please then return it to the office responsible for the Sale at least 24 hours in advance of the Sale . It is your responsibility to check with our Bids Office that your bid has been received. Telephone calls will be recorded. The telephone bidding facility is a discretionary service and may not be available in relation to all Lots . We will not be responsible for bidding on your behalf if you are unavailable at the time of the Sale or if the telephone connection is interrupted during bidding. Please contact us for further details.
Bidding by post or fax
Absentee Bidding Forms can be found in the back of this
Catalogue and should be completed and sent to the office responsible for the Sale. It is in your interests to return your form as soon as possible, as if two or more Bidders submit identical bids for a Lot , the first bid received takes preference.
In any event, all bids should be received at least 24 hours
NTB/HOR/V1/12.09
before the start of the Sale . Please check your Absentee
Bidding Form carefully before returning it to us, fully completed and signed by you. It is your responsibility to check with our
Bids Office that your bid has been received. This additional service is complimentary and is confidential. Such bids are made at your own risk and we cannot accept liability for our failure to receive and/or place any such bids. All bids made on your behalf will be made at the lowest level possible subject to
Reserve s and other bids made for the Lot . Where appropriate your bids will be rounded down to the nearest amount consistent with the Auctioneer’s bidding increments. New
Bidders must also provide proof of identity when submitting bids. Failure to do this may result in your bid not being placed.
Bidding via the internet
Please visit our Website at http://www.bonhams.com for details of how to bid via the internet.
Bidding through an agent
Bids will be accepted as placed on behalf of the person named as the principal on the Bidding Form although we may refuse to accept bids from an agent on behalf of a principal and may require written confirmation from the principal confirming the agent’s authority to bid. Nevertheless, as the Bidding
Form explains, any person placing a bid as agent on behalf of another (whether or not he has disclosed that fact or the identity of his principal) will be jointly and severally liable with the principal to the Seller and to Bonhams under any contract resulting from the acceptance of a bid. Subject to the above, please let us know if you are acting on behalf of another person when bidding for Lots at the Sale.
Equally, please let us know if you intend to nominate another person to bid on your behalf at the Sale unless this is to be carried out by us pursuant to a Telephone or Absentee Bidding
Form that you have completed. If we do not approve the agency arrangements in writing before the Sale, we are entitled to assume that the person bidding at the Sale is bidding on his own behalf. Accordingly, the person bidding at the Sale will be the Buyer and will be liable to pay the Hammer Price and
Buyer ’s Premium and associated charges. If we approve the identity of your client in advance, we will be in a position to address the invoice to your principal rather than you. We will require proof of the agent’s client’s identity and residence in advance of any bids made by the agent on his behalf. Please refer to our Conditions of Business and contact our Customer
Services Department for further details.

14. THE SELLERS AND/OR BONHAMS’ LIABILITY
Other than any liability of the Seller to the Buyer of a Lot under the Contract for Sale , neither we nor the Seller are liable (whether in negligence or otherwise) for any error or misdescription or omission in any Description of a Lot or any
Estimate in respect of it, whether contained in the Catalogue or otherwise, whether given orally or in writing and whether given before or during the Sale. Neither we nor the Seller will be liable for any loss of Business, profits, revenue or income, or for loss of reputation, or for disruption to Business or wasted time on the part of management or staff, or for indirect losses or consequential damages of any kind, irrespective in any case of the nature, volume or source of the loss or damage alleged to be suffered, and irrespective of whether the said loss or damage is caused by or claimed in respect of any negligence, other tort, breach of contract (if any) or statutory duty, restitutionary claim or otherwise. In any circumstances where we and/or the Seller are liable in relation to any Lot or any Description or Estimate made of any Lot , or the conduct of any Sale in relation to any Lot , whether in damages, for an indemnity or contribution, or for a restitutionary remedy or otherwise, our and/or the Seller’s liability (combined, if both we and the Seller are liable) will be limited to payment of a sum which will not exceed by way of maximum the amount of the
Purchase Price of the Lot irrespective in any case of the nature, volume or source of any loss or damage alleged to be suffered or sum claimed as due, and irrespective of whether the liability arises from any negligence, other tort, breach of contract (if any) or statutory duty or otherwise. Nothing set out above will be construed as excluding or restricting (whether directly or indirectly) our liability or excluding or restricting any person’s rights or remedies in respect of (i) fraud, or (ii) death or
NTB/HOR/V1/12.09
personal injury caused by our negligence (or by the negligence of any person under our control or for whom we are legally responsible), or (iii) acts or omissions for which we are liable under the Occupiers Liability Act 1957, or (iv) any other liability to the extent the same may not be excluded or restricted as a matter of law or (v) our undertakings under paragraphs 9 (in relation to specialist Stamp or Book Sales only) and 10 of the
Buyer ’s Agreement . The same applies in respect of the Seller , as if references to us in this paragraph were substituted with references to the Seller .
15. CLOCKS AND WATCHES
All Lots are sold “as is”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches have been repaired in the course of their normal lifetime and may now incorporate parts not original to them. Furthermore, Bonhams makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the
Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Bidders should be aware that the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank
Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted.
These watches may not be shipped to the USA and can only be imported personally.

However, if the Catalogue states that Bonhams sells the Lot as principal, or such a statement is made by an announcement by the Auctioneer , or by a notice at the Sale , or an insert in the

B idders (or if no date is specified, by 4.30pm on the seventh day after the Sale ) we may remove the Lot to another location, the details of which will usually be set out in the Notice to Bidders . If you have not paid for the Lot in accordance with paragraph 3, and the Lot is moved to any third party’s premises, the Lot will be held by such third party strictly to Bonhams ’ order and we will retain our lien over the Lot until we have been paid in full in accordance with paragraph 3.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE LOT

CLAIMS BY OTHER PERSONS IN RESPECT OF
THE LOT
Whenever it becomes apparent to us that the Lot is the subject of a claim by someone other than you and other than the Seller (or that such a claim can reasonably be expected to be made), we may, at our absolute discretion, deal with the
Lot in any manner which appears to us to recognise the legitimate interests of ourselves and the other parties involved and lawfully to protect our position and our legitimate interests. Without prejudice to the generality of the discretion and by way of example, we may: retain the Lot to investigate any question raised or reasonably expected by us to be raised in relation to the Lot ; and/or deliver the Lot to a person other than you; and/ commence interpleader proceedings or seek any other order of any court, mediator, arbitrator or government body; and/or require an indemnity and/or security from you in return for pursuing a course of action agreed to by you.
The discretion referred to in paragraph 8.1: may be exercised at any time during which we have actual or constructive possession of the
Lot , or at any time after such possession, where the cessation of such possession has occurred by reason of any decision, order or ruling of any court, mediator, arbitrator or government body; and will not be exercised unless we believe that there exists a serious prospect of a good arguable case in favour of the claim.
FORGERIES
We undertake a personal responsibility for any
Forgery in accordance with the terms of this paragraph 9.
Paragraph 9 applies only if: your name appears as the named person to whom the original invoice was made out by us in respect of the Lot and that invoice has been paid; and you notify us in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after you have become aware that the Lot is or may be a Forgery , and in any event within one year after the Sale , that the Lot is a
Forgery ; and within one month after such notification has been given, you return the Lot to us in the same condition as it was at the time of the Sale , accompanied by written evidence that the Lot is a
Forgery and details of the Sale and Lot number sufficient to identify the Lot .
Paragraph 9 will not apply in respect of a
Forgery if: the Entry in relation to the Lot contained in the
Catalogue reflected the then accepted general opinion of scholars and experts or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of such opinion or reflected the then current opinion of an expert acknowledged to be a leading expert in the relevant field; or it can be established that the Lot is a Forgery only by means of a process not generally accepted for use until after the date on which the Catalogue was published or by means of a process which it was unreasonable in all the circumstances for us to have employed.
You authorise us to carry out such processes and tests on the Lot as we in our absolute discretion consider necessary to satisfy ourselves that the
Lot is or is not a Forgery .
