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 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

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.

NOTICE TO BIDDERS
3. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS AND ESTIMATES
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.
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.
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 Buyers 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.
Estimates
In most cases, an Estimate is printed beside the Entry. Estimates
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 Prices 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. Estimates
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
Descriptions and Estimates 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
Reserves 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.
6. CONTRACTS BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER AND
THE BUYER AND BONHAMS
On the Lot being knocked down to the Buyer, a Contract for
Sale of the Lot will be entered into between the Seller and
the Buyer on the terms of the Contract for Sale set out in
Appendix 1 at the back of the Catalogue. You will be liable to
pay the Purchase Price, which is the Hammer Price plus any
applicable VAT. At the same time, a separate contract is also
entered into between us as auctioneers and the Buyer. This
is our Buyer’s Agreement, the terms of which are set out in
Appendix 2 at the back of the Catalogue. Please read the terms
of the Contract for Sale and our Buyer’s Agreement contained
in the Catalogue in case you are the successful Bidder. We
may change the terms of either or both of these agreements
in advance of their being entered into, by setting out different
terms in the Catalogue and/or by placing an insert in the
Catalogue and/or by notices at the Sale venue and/or by oral
announcements before and during the Sale. You should be
alert to this possibility of changes and ask if there have been
any.
7. BUYER’S PREMIUM AND OTHER CHARGES PAYABLE BY
THE BUYER
Under the Buyer’s Agreement, a premium (the Buyer’s
Premium) is payable to us by the Buyer in accordance with the
terms of the Buyer’s Agreement and at rates set out below,
calculated by reference to the Hammer Price and payable in
addition to it. Storage charges and Expenses are also payable
by the Buyer as set out in the Buyer’s Agreement. All the
sums payable to us by the Buyer are subject to VAT. For this
Sale the following rates of Buyer’s Premium will be payable
by Buyers of Lots: 20% on the first £250,000 of the Hammer
Price; 12% on the excess over £250,000 of the Hammer Price.
On certain Lots, which will be marked “AR” in the Catalogue
and which are sold for a Hammer Price of €1,000 or greater
(converted into the currency of the Sale using the European
Central Bank Reference rate prevailing on the date of the Sale),
the Additional Premium will be payable to us by the Buyer to
cover our expenses relating to the payment of royalties under
the Artists Resale Right Regulations 2006. The Auctioneer will
announce the equivalent of €1,000 in the currency in which
the Sale will take place at the beginning of the Sale. The
Additional Premium will be a percentage of the amount of the
Hammer Price calculated in accordance with the table below,
and shall not exceed €12,500 (converted into the currency
of the Sale using the European Central Bank Reference rate
prevailing on the date of the Sale).

8. VAT
The prevailing rate of VAT at the time of going to press is
17.5%, but this is subject to government change and the rate
payable will be the rate in force on the date of the sale.
The following symbols are used to denote that VAT is due on
the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium:
† VAT at the prevailing rate on Hammer Price and Buyer’s
Premium
Ω VAT on imported items at the prevailing rate on Hammer
Price and Buyer’s Premium
* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on
Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer’s Premium
G Gold bullion exempt from VAT onthe Hammer Price and
subject to VAT at the prevailing rate on the Buyer’s Premium
• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer
Price or the Buyer’s Premium
a Buyers from within the EU: VAT is payable at the prevailing
rate on just the Buyer’s Premium (NOT the Hammer Price)
Buyers from outside the EU: VAT is payable at the prevailing rate
on both Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium. If a Buyer, having
registered under a non-EU address, decides that the item is not
to be exported from the EU, then he should advise Bonhams
immediately.
In all other instances no VAT will be charged on the Hammer
Price, but VAT at the prevailing rate will be added to Buyer’s
Premium which will be invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis.
9. PAYMENT
It is of critical importance that you ensure that you have readily
available funds to pay the Purchase Price and the Buyer’s
Premium (plus VAT and any other charges and Expenses to us)
in full before making a bid for the Lot. If you are a successful
Bidder, payment will be due to us by 4.30 pm on the second
working day after the Sale so that all sums are cleared by the
seventh working day after the Sale. Unless agreed by us in
advance payments made by anyone other than the registered
Buyer will not be accepted. Payment will have to be by one of
the following methods (all cheques should be made payable to
Bonhams 1793 Limited).
Debit cards issued by a UK bank: there is no additional
charge for purchases made with personal debit cards. Debit
cards issued by an overseas bank, deferred and company debit
cards and all credit cards will be subject to a 3% surcharge;
Credit cards: Visa and Mastercard only. Please note there is a
3% surcharge on the total invoice value when payments are
made using credit cards. It may be advisable to notify your card
provider of your intended purchase in advance to reduce delays
caused by us having to seek authority when you come to pay. If
you have any questions with regard to payment, please contact
our Customer Services Department.
10. COLLECTION AND STORAGE
The Buyer of a Lot will not be allowed to collect it until
payment in full and in cleared funds has been made (unless
we have made a special arrangement with the Buyer). For
collection and removal of purchased Lots, please refer to
Sale Information at the front of the catalogue. Our offices
are open 9.00am - 5pm Monday to Friday. Details relating to
the collection of a Lot, the storage of a Lot and our Storage
Contractor after the Sale are set out at the end of this Notice
to Bidders.

arrangements can be found on the MLA website www.mla.
gov.uk or by phoning MLA on 020 7273 8266. The need for
import licences varies from country to country and you should

provisions. The refusal of any import or export licence(s) or any
delay in obtaining such licence(s) shall not permit the rescission
of any sale nor allow any delay in making full payment for
the Lot. Generally, please contact our shipping department
before the Sale if you require assistance in relation to export
regulations.

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.

payable by you to Bonhams in relation to the Lot
have been paid in full to, and received in cleared
funds by, Bonhams.
6

Your obligation to pay the Purchase Price arises
when the Lot is knocked down to you on the fall

2.1.5
subject to any alterations expressly identified as
such made by announcement or notice at the
Sale venue or by the Notice to Bidders or by an
insert in the Catalogue, the Lot corresponds with
the Contractual Description of the Lot, being that
part of the Entry about the Lot in the Catalogue
which is in bold letters and (except for colour)
with any photograph of the Lot in the Catalogue
and the contents of any Condition Report which
has been provided to the Buyer.
3
DESCRIPTIONS OF THE LOT
3.1
Paragraph 2.1.5 sets out what is the Contractual
Description of the Lot. In particular, the Lot is
not sold as corresponding with that part of the
Entry in the Catalogue which is not printed in
bold letters, which merely sets out (on the Seller’s
behalf) Bonhams’ opinion about the Lot and
which is not part of the Contractual Description
upon which the Lot is sold. Any statement or
representation other than that part of the Entry
referred to in paragraph 2.1.5 (together with any
express alteration to it as referred to in paragraph
2.1.5), including any Description or Estimate,
whether made orally or in writing, including in
the Catalogue or on Bonhams’ Website, or by
conduct, or otherwise, and whether by or on
behalf of the Seller or Bonhams and whether
made prior to or during the Sale, is not part of
the Contractual Description upon which the Lot
is sold.
IMPORTANT: These terms may be changed in advance of the
Sale of the Lot to you, by the setting out of different terms in
the Catalogue for the Sale and/or by placing an insert in the
announcements before and during the Sale at the Sale venue.
You should be alert to this possibility of changes and ask in
advance of bidding if there have been any.
THE CONTRACT
The Seller does not make and does not
agree to make any contractual promise,
undertaking, obligation, guarantee, warranty,
or representation of fact in relation to the
satisfactory quality of the Lot or its fitness for any
purpose.

UNDER THIS CONTRACT, THE SELLER’S LIABILITY IN RESPECT

1.4
As a result of the services provided by us, we obtain personal
data about you (which expression for the purposes of this
paragraph only includes your employees and officers, if
relevant). You agree to our use of it as follows.
We may use your data to notify you about changes to our
services and to provide you with information about products
or services that you request from us or which we feel may
be of interest to you. Data about you may be analysed to
identify your potential preferences for these purposes. We
may disclose your data to any member of our group (which
means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and
its subsidiaries as defined in section 736 of the Companies
Act 1985, including any overseas subsidiary). Subject to this,
we will not disclose your data to any third party but we may
from time to time provide you with information about goods
and services provided by third parties which we feel may be of
interest to you. Any member of our group may use your data
for similar purposes.
The Seller sells the Lot as the principal to the
Contract for Sale, such contract being made
between the Seller and you through Bonhams
which acts in the sole capacity as the Seller’s
agent and not as an additional principal.
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
Catalogue, then Bonhams is the Seller for the
purposes of this agreement.
3.2
Except as provided in paragraph 2.1.5, the
Seller does not make or give and does not
agree to make or give any contractual promise,
undertaking, obligation, guarantee, warranty, or
representation of fact, or undertake any duty of
care, in relation to any Description of the Lot or
any Estimate in relation to it, nor of the accuracy
or completeness of any Description or Estimate
which may have been made by or on behalf
of the Seller including by Bonhams. No such
Description or Estimate is incorporated into this
Contract for Sale.

MISCELLANEOUS
10.1
You may not assign either the benefit or burden
of the Contract for Sale.
10.2
The Seller’s failure or delay in enforcing or
exercising any power or right under the Contract
for Sale will not operate or be deemed to
operate as a waiver of his rights under it except
to the extent of any express waiver given to you
in writing. Any such waiver will not affect the
Seller’s ability subsequently to enforce any right
arising under the Contract for Sale.
10.3
If either party to the Contract for Sale is
prevented from performing that party’s
respective obligations under the Contract for
Sale by circumstances beyond its reasonable
control or if performance of its obligations would

significantly increased financial cost to it, that
party will not, for so long as such circumstances
prevail, be required to perform such obligations.
This paragraph does not apply to the obligations
imposed on you by paragraph 6.
10.4
Any notice or other communication to be given
under the Contract for Sale must be in writing

the Contract for Sale.
10.12
Where the Contract for Sale confers an immunity
from, and/or an exclusion or restriction of, the

also operate in favour and for the benefit of
Bonhams, Bonhams’ holding company and the
subsidiaries of such holding company and the
successors and assigns of Bonhams and of such

accuracy or completeness of any Description or
Estimate which may have been made by us or
on our behalf or by or on behalf of the Seller
(whether made orally or in writing, including
in the Catalogue or on Bonhams’ Website, or
by conduct, or otherwise), and whether made
before or after this agreement or prior to or
during the Sale. No such Description or Estimate
is incorporated into this agreement between
you and us. Any such Description or Estimate,
if made by us or on our behalf, was (unless
Bonhams itself sells the Lot as principal) made as
agent on behalf of the Seller.

expense by the date and time specified in the
Notice to Bidders, or if no date is specified, by
4.30pm on the seventh day after the Sale.
4.3 For the period referred to in paragraph 4.2, the
Lot can be collected from the address referred
to in the Notice to Bidders for collection on the

Thereafter, the Lot may be removed elsewhere
for storage and you must enquire from us as to
when and where you can collect it, although this

us, acting as your agent and on your behalf, to
enter into a contract (the “Storage Contract”)
with the Storage Contractor for the storage of

on request). If the Lot is stored at our premises
storage fees at our current daily rates (currently a
minimum of £3 plus VAT per Lot per day) will be
payable from the expiry of the period referred to
in paragraph 4.2. These storage fees form part
of our Expenses.
4.5 Until you have paid the Purchase Price and any
Expenses in full the Lot will either be held by us
as agent on behalf of the Seller or held by the
Storage Contractor as agent on behalf of the
Seller and ourselves on the terms contained in
the Storage Contract.

Storage Contract and in particular to pay the

premises until you have paid the Purchase Price,

will be applied firstly pro-rata to pay the Purchase

you may direct us in writing. The Lot will only
be released on production of a stamped, paid
invoice, obtained from our cashier’s office.

you have not paid for the Lot in accordance with

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
