This rare and substantial 18ct gold antique watch chain, crafted in 1876, is a true statement piece of exceptional quality. Made from solid, tightly joined round links, each link has an angular, geometric finish where it connects, creating a fluid, multidimensional design that sits 5.5mm wide and 5.5mm high, making the chain appear even more substantial than its impressive dimensions suggest.
 
Measuring 22.05 inches in length and weighing a solid 85.45 grams, this piece delivers both weight and presence. Two chunky dog clip clasps complete the design, with one measuring 22mm and the other 24.5mm—perfect for adding charms or pendants.
 
One of the end links bears several crisp hallmarks, including a crown and "18" for 18-carat gold, an anchor for the Birmingham Assay Office, and a date letter 'b' for 1876. Each link and both dog clips are stamped with a crown and "18," attesting to the quality and authenticity of the gold throughout.
 
Arriving to us with one original dog clip, we’ve sourced a matching high-carat gold clip to complete the piece, making this a highly wearable and collectible addition to any collection. The chain’s chubby links and superior condition make it a rare find that is exceptionally hard to come by in this length, weight, and quality.
