Coco Chanel, the founder of the brand, has long been associated with high society and elegant couture that changed the face of women’s fashion in the early 20th century. Today, the brand is known for its clothing line, accessories, jewellery and perfume, as well as the J12 line of wristwatches. Launched in 1999, it is a watch that is a fusion between the masculine and feminine, and has a unisex appeal. The models range from clean and simplistic to jeweled and divine.

The present watch is in like new condition and is part of a limited edition of 555 timepieces celebrating the great Coco Chanel. Released in 2017, the model was made in both its signature white or black ceramic with an ETA caliber 2894 automatic movement.
