Full-Cataloguing
Good to know:
- One of a limited edition of 20 pieces
- Signature guilloché dial in purple, with subsidiary dials matching the case colour
- High frequency cal. SXH3 movement and COSC certified
- This model is being offered for the first time at auction
- The Faubourg de Cracovie is a prized model of Czapek, being the third collection of the brand and named after the location of the third boutique they established back in 1850 in Warsaw.
- Released as a limited edition of 20 pieces, the present Faubourg de Cracovie is first time seen on the auction market cased in 18k pink gold, featuring a purple “Résonance” guilloché dial with subsidiary dials matching the case colour. As a chronograph, this Imperial Purple does not have a tachymeter scale like other Faubourg de Cracovie watches, instead it only has a straightforward minute track with “60” highlighted in red, giving a hint of subtle elegance in this chronograph watch.
- The case shows Czapek treats every part of watchmaking seriously. It has sandblasted recesses on the flanks and carefully sculpted lugs polished in glossy finish. There is also a smoothly polished satin texture under the bezel on the case. The chronograph pushers are seamlessly integrated into the crown guard, keeping the overall smooth profile.
- The watch runs on the high frequency cal. SXH3 movement, developed by Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, it provides great stability to the watch, certified by COSC. The 22k pink gold self-winding rotor with diamond-blasted anthracite bridge provide an interesting look when looking from the rear of the watch through the sapphire caseback.
