1974 Roy King .925 Sterling Silver Square Case on Bracelet 28mm

Here we have a striking 1974 Roy King .925 Sterling Silver Square Case on a matching sterling silver bracelet, showcasing the brand's legendary mastery of avant-garde, jewellery-first horology. Featuring a beautifully proportioned 28mm square solid sterling silver monocoque case, it presents an ultra-slim, elegant profile on the wrist with a thickness of just 6.5mm. The minimalist, lugless square architecture creates an identical 28mm lug-to-lug length, allowing the watch to transition seamlessly into its integrated band with a fluid, sculptural presence. On the right side, a small, low-profile signed crown sits subtly integrated into the polished flank. A flat crystal sits within the polished sterling silver bezel above a minimalist dial. The dial remains completely unadorned, letting its pure tone and texture take centre stage while elegant baton hands trace the hours and minutes with understated sophistication. At 12 o’clock, the distinctive Roy King signature completes this highly artistic and refined timepiece. On the reverse, a solid sterling silver case back protects the ultra-thin, manually wound Swiss movement inside. The watch comes paired with its stunning .925 sterling silver 20mm mesh textured bracelet, which flows effortlessly and is secured by a matching hallmarked adjustable jewellery clasp; it will fit 7-inch wrist upwards.

This watch is sold with its original Rolex box, swing tags and paperwork. The watch comes paired with its brushed and polished Rolex five-piece OysterSteel Jubilee bracelet secured by the folding Oysterclasp with the Easylink extension system; all links are included. The watch is from July 2026 and is sold in worn-once condition, as you can see from the photographs. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

Roy King is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated watch designers of the last century. While names like Gérald Genta rightly receive enormous recognition, Roy King's work deserves far more appreciation for its elegant, jewellery-inspired approach and distinctive design language. This watch perfectly demonstrates why. The seamless transition from the sculptural sterling silver case into the beautifully woven mesh bracelet creates something that feels less like a conventional watch and more like a piece of wearable art. It's understated, beautifully proportioned, and unmistakably of its era without ever feeling dated. For collectors who enjoy discovering the lesser-known names that helped shape watch design, this is a wonderful opportunity. Roy King's creations don't appear nearly as often as they should, and when you find one as beautifully preserved as this, it's hard not to appreciate just how talented a designer he really was.

Roy Cecil King was a British jeweller, watch designer, and goldsmith known for his artistic approach to watchmaking. He transitioned from jewellery design to watchmaking after World War II. King began his career as a jeweller, completing an apprenticeship at 14 in Hatton Garden, London, where he developed skills in gem-setting and goldsmithing. He gained experience crafting bespoke pieces for notable clients, including Cartier, Rolex, and Garrard. During World War II, he served as a planning engineer for the Hurricane aircraft. After the war, he established a workshop in Watford, producing a range of items, including jewellery and watches. He collaborated with Bueche Girod to design intricate watch cases. In 1973, he acquired La Montre Royale de Geneve, a Swiss watch company. King continued to design and create watches into his eighties and opened a showroom in Mayfair in 1980. He passed away at the age of 87 in 2000.
