拍品資料及來源
此款懷錶由第七世海德拉巴邦的尼薩姆Mir Osman Ali Khan (1886-1967)贈與Maulvi Ahmed Hussain。尼薩姆是統治海德拉巴邦的君主稱號，自1719年取得政權以來迅速積累了巨額財富。第七世尼薩姆於1911年繼承王位，一直到1948年海德拉巴邦併入印度才退位。他在位期間被稱為是世界上最富有的人，至19世紀40年代初為止他的資產預計總額為20億美金。他在位時是英國最忠誠的盟友之一，在一戰及二戰間皆給予大量資金及物品援助。
尼薩姆的收藏規模相當驚人，有ܫ超過200輛勞斯萊斯汽車以及數之不盡的罕見鑽石，其中包括一枚重達184.5克拉的Jacob鑽石。作為收藏家他非常清楚以懷錶相贈所代表的重大意義。這枚懷錶由當時印度馬德拉斯最負盛名的鐘錶及珠寶商P. Orr & Sons售出。
