Exclusive Luxury Auction Featuring Rare Elvis Presley Mathey-Tissot Watch

Millions of Pounds Worth of Jewellery, Watches, and Handbags to Go Under the Hammer This Week at Wilsons Auctions Wilsons Auctions is thrilled to announce the upcoming Online Luxury Goods Auction, set to take place from 26th to 28th February at 11:00 am, showcasing an extraordinary collection of high-end jewellery, watches, and handbags worth millions of pounds. Among the exceptional Lots is a truly remarkable piece of music and pop culture history: an Important Mathey-Tissot watch owned and worn by Elvis Presley.

This Mathey-Tissot automatic wristwatch is not just a luxury timepiece but a symbol of Elvis Presley's legacy. Specially commissioned by Elvis himself as gifts for his family, closest friends, and band members, the 34mm Swiss-made watch was customised by his long-time jeweller and close friend Harry Levitch between 1969 and 1970. It is believed that only a limited number of these watches were created, each granting the wearer privileged access to Elvis' concerts and tours—a true testament to their exclusivity and historical significance.

Adding to its authenticity and value, the watch is accompanied by:

• Certificate of Authenticity Numbered 2001 from the Elvis Presley Museum, signed by Vince Everett, confirming its provenance as part of the world-renowned Vince Everett Collection, the largest collection of Elvis Presley memorabilia.
• Original Mathey-Tissot Box and Certificate of Guarantee, ensuring the piece's originality and condition.
• Documented Provenance from prestigious auction houses: Bonhams (22 April 1999, Lot 1189) and Whytes (24 March 2003 - POP & ROCK MEMORABILIA AUCTION - Lot 84), where it was stated as personally owned and worn by Elvis.

In addition to this extraordinary Elvis Presley watch, the auction will feature a dazzling array of high-value jewellery, luxury watches, and designer handbags from the world’s most coveted brands, providing a unique opportunity for collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike.

Included in the auction is a varied selection of Government seized assets being offered with no reserve, seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act. The auction will give buyers the opportunity to acquire assets with no reserve price and funds raised from the sale will go towards the fight against organised crime. Items include sought-after watches,featuring a 40mm 18ct Rose Gold Rolex Daytona and a Rolex GMT Master II along with many items of jewellery.

 

One very interesting Lot is the Souscription Set No. 34/300, crafted in 18K yellow gold. The Lot features a 37mm perpetual calendar minute repeater wristwatch (Ref. 3430) and a 62mm perpetual pocket watch (Ref. 1890). An ultra-rare collection.

Originally launched in 1991, it was produced in a limited series of 300 pieces and paid tribute to the brand’s 200-year legacy. Inspired by Abraham-Louis Breguet’s 1794 Souscription concept, the wristwatch features a guilloché dial and the calibre 567, while the pocket watch showcases a hammer-winding mechanism and exquisite finishing.

 

Developed by Michel Parmigiani in the 1990s, this set remains a coveted collector’s piece, complete with original Breguet certificates and a wooden presentation box.

If exquisite diamonds are what you are looking for, Graff important diamond chandelier earrings are also included with an historic Graff valuation for £370,000. The white briolette & pearshape diamond earrings set with white diamond pavé have a total diamond weight of 54.44cts.
