A substantial antique double Albert watch chain crafted in solid 9ct rose gold and dating to the early 1900s.
The chain features beautifully faceted rollerball-style Belcher links, giving the gold a softly textured finish that catches the light while retaining the warmth and character associated with antique rose gold. Its traditional double Albert construction creates a distinctive period look, while the generous 18-inch length makes it particularly wearable compared with many shorter watch chains of this type.
Weighing an impressive 52.3 grams, this is a heavy and highly collectable piece with excellent presence. Every link is stamped “9 375” for 9ct gold, although some of the marks have naturally softened with age and wear. The chain has also been professionally XRF tested as solid 9ct gold.
Over 100 years old, this is an authentic antique chain with attractive age-related character, ready to be worn and enjoyed as a statement necklace or added to an important collection.

Condition
Presented in very good antique condition, especially considering the chain is over a century old.
The links have developed a beautifully soft, smooth appearance through genuine period wear, with light surface marks and softened facets consistent with the chain’s age and history. Some of the individual hallmarks are worn, although the original “9 375” stamps remain visible across the chain.
The links remain well connected, flexible and fully functional, with no notable structural damage. This honest age-related wear adds to the piece’s authentic antique character and does not detract from its substantial quality or wearability.
