Design

- Bracelet and Construction
- The integrated rose gold bracelet is a primary design element of the watch. It is composed of sculptural, overlapping links that connect directly to the case body. This construction is intended to give the object the visual characteristics of a piece of jewelry. To maintain the continuity of the bracelet's design, the watch utilizes a concealed deployant clasp. This mechanism hides the closure point beneath the bracelet links while the watch is worn on the wrist.
- Provenance and Accompanying Items
- The watch is provided with its original documentation and packaging. According to the source, the set includes inner and outer boxes, as well as the accompanying papers and pamphlets. The source identifies the collection's origin as the mid-2000s, noting it was named in tribute to the actress María Félix. The item is being offered by the source as a complete package. The documentation details are intended to support the watch as an ensemble piece rather than an individual watch head.
