Design
- Case and Dial
- The watch is housed in a 34mm yellow gold case characterized by a stepped bezel design. To maintain a clean aesthetic, the case incorporates four hidden pushers located along the sides, which serve to adjust the calendar functions. The case back is engraved with the brand name and individual serial number. The dial is finished in white and lacks luminous material. It displays the time via gold hands, complemented by applied Roman numerals. The calendar display consists of a date chapter ring indexed by a central blued hand with a crescent tip, with day and month indicators in apertures. A moonphase complication is positioned at the lower portion of the dial.
