| The General Abbatucci and her mysterious shipment lay on the soft seabed for 127 years before she was located in 1996. The expected cargo of gold was never found, but among the twisted metal hull and skeletal remains were pieces of jewellery, watches and coins which were recovered from a depth of over 8,000 feet. These pieces were sold at Christies Auction in 1997. This is a silver pocket watch in its original encrusted condition. It is as it was when first pulled from the seabed after 127 years of undisturbed rest. It comes with its original Certificate of Authenticity from Christies. Size 4.5 cm (at its highest point) x 4 cm. If you have any queries about this item please feel free to contact me. Thank you for looking and for your time. | ||||||||
