Inspired by the elegant dress watches produced by the manufacture during the 1930s through the 1950s, the collection is known for its balanced proportions, railway minute track, faceted dauphine hands and refined finishing. The present example is the Reference 82172 in white gold and fitted in a 38mm case measuring just 8mm in thickness. At its heart beats the remarkably slim in-house manual wind Caliber 4400 AS, visible through the sapphire crystal display back and admired by its elegant architecture and meticulous Côtes de Genève finishing. The stunning silvered dial is well balanced by the small seconds register at 6 o'clock and is paired with the classic dauphine hands and railway outer minute track. ***Please note that wristbands made of material of endangered or otherwise protected species (i.e. alligator and crocodile) are not sold with the watches and are for display purposes only.
