Catalogue Essay

Visually striking and masterfully crafted, the present DB28 "Kind of Blue" is part of an elite circle in contemporary horology. It features a stunning heat-blued grade 5 titanium case with an impressive mirrored polish, complemented by the brand’s signature delta-shaped bridge adorned with Côtes De Bethune decoration. The hours are indicated by arrow pointers in pink gold, with meticulous attention to detail evident even on the pink gold pin of the buckle.

The watch is animated by the blued balance wheel, anchored by six white gold inserts within the caliber DB2115. Right underneath, it showcases the brand’s signature spherical moon phase indication, which is accurate to one lunar day every 122 years, and includes a patented self-regulating twin barrel and triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system.

This particular example of the De Bethune DB28BTIBN is beautifully preserved and started to develop a very nice and attractive purple patina on the surface. Comes complete with its full set of accessories, it presents a fantastic opportunity for admirers of innovative timepieces to acquire an award-winning wristwatch from one of the most respected independent firms in the industry.
