This lot contains ivory. Commercial trade in ivory is regulated. Piguet therefore recommends that, before taking any action related to a potential purchase or handling of an ivory item, buyers seek advice on the applicable regulations and requirements. Piguet will not conduct any applications for exemption certificates, CITES licenses, registrations, or similar documents that may be required, including their renewal or update, nor arrange for import or export permits needed for international shipping. A buyer's inability or delay in obtaining the necessary documentation, or in lawfully arranging the export or import of the lot, will not justify the cancellation of the sale or a delay in payment.
