Design

- The wristwatch features a solid, two-body 18K pink gold case, measuring 38 mm in diameter and 12 mm in thickness. The design includes a polished finish with a stepped bezel and matching lugs. The case construction utilizes sapphire crystals on both sides, with a transparent screwed-down case back that allows visibility into the movement. The blue dial serves as a display for the multi-functional movement, featuring applied pink gold Arabic numerals. The dial is arranged with various indicators, including subsidiary dials for the 12-hour and 30-minute registers, a 24-hour seconds indicator, and an outer graduation track for the days of the month. Apertures positioned on the dial provide readouts for the days of the week, the months, and the lunar phases. The time is indicated by pink gold Breguet-style hands.
