Catalogue Essay
Joining creativity, beauty and technical wonder, the asymmetrical time display is made thanks to three rotating sapphire disks with printed hours rotating on a centre wheel respectively pointing to the minutes on the upper part of the dial. The model was made available in yellow gold, pink gold, stainless steel and platinum with either a guilloché dial or a floral engraved decoration.
The present watch feels slim on the wrist, measuring a subtle 36mm, yet its delicate floral engraved lower dial, and stepped platinum case gives it undeniable gravitas. Presented in excellent overall condition and accompanied by its certificate and original presentation box, this Star Wheel will delight the collector who is looking for a rare and elegant timepiece that will keep on surprising every time one lays eyes on it.
