Il 6 luglio 2011, due esperti Fabergé in America, Vincent e Anna Palmade<ref>{{cita|Wartski|}}</ref>
hanno scoperto l'immagine di un uovo, identico a quello nella fotografia della mostra di Von Dervais del 1902, in un vecchio catalogo per un'asta del marzo 1964 da [[Sotheby's#Beginnings|Parke-Bernet (oggi Sotheby's)]]<ref name = Nikkah >{{cita|Nikkah|}}</ref>.
The 2011 ''Telegraph'' article included an interview with Kieran McCarthy, "a Fabergé expert from the Mayfair jeweller Wartski" and McCarthy stated "whoever has this piece will have no idea of its provenance and significance – nor will they know they are sitting on a royal relic which could be worth £20 million." McCarthy hypothesized that there "is every chance this egg is somewhere in this country, because even though it was not sold as Fabergé in the 1964 auction, a lot of Fabergé collectors and buyers of “Fabergé-style” works of art were English collectors at the time." While the hypothesis of current English ownership proved invalid, the search efforts and commentary in the United Kingdom led to the publication of the ''Telegraph'' article which included the black and white photograph from the 1964 catalog and repeated much of the description, including that the egg contained "a gold watch by the Swiss watch maker Vacheron & Constantin." The article was archived online and thereafter available to the global (English-reading) audience and searchable on [[Google]].
