    Franck, thanks for your great list!!!

    I thought I had another picture of the diamond watch. But in fact I mixed up two pieces - this here is a bracelet, not a watch:

    Have not seen any other picture of this piece before ... perhaps it is part of No.1 on your list?

    : Dear Veronika,
    :
    : The diamond watch is very beautiful !! The
    : watch seems to be more expensive than the
    : Swiss federal watch ! Sad she has never worn
    : this watch in public.
    :
    : Have you got an other photo of this watch as
    : you said in your post ?
    :
    : Leslies Fields says in her book that she had
    : an pearl sautoir with an diamond and
    : sapphire clasp (seen for exemple in 1982 as
    : pregnant wearing a deep blue marine dress
    : with her diamond and sapphire brooch from
    : Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother)
    :
    : Do you think that it is this pearl sautoir
    : seen in the movie(to me the clasp seems
    : wider in this sautoir)
    :
    : She has worn also the pearl and diamond
    : bracelet in the beginning of the 80's (For
    : exemple at a London premiere of Ghandi in
    : December 1982). However the bracelet was
    : altered by removing the diamond bewteen the
    : pearls.
    :
    : Have you got photos of the jewels given by
    : the King and Queen of Tonga, General Kenan
    : Evren and from the President of Seychelles ?
    :
    : I also give you my list of jewels given to
    : her as wedding gifts. Do you know others
    : jewels she was given ? Thank you in advance,
