Catalogue Essay
In 2015, De Grisogono offered a unique timepiece for Only Watch charity auction. The New Retro Black Stripes exudes sleek, pared-back elegance.
Four stripes of inky black diamonds accent the caseback, crystallizing De Grisogono's trademark allure of the dark and rare. These carbonados were once cast aside, until the maison pioneered their use in the 1990s. Intensely challenging to cut and facet, black diamonds guard their mystic soul. Only the most patient and skilled hands can coax out their beauty.
A minimalist, uncompromising design that soberly expresses time in a two-handed model with cut-outs at 3 and 9 o’clock create a transparent effect and the impression that both the dial and the movement are suspended in a glass cage. The two curved sapphire crystals are identical and subtly connected by a thin gold band.
With its mix of sleek lines, negative space and darkly alluring diamonds, this unique New Retro Black Stripes makes a quietly confident statement. It speaks elegantly to connoisseurs who appreciate such multi-layered refinements. Offered in virtually unworn condition since its first debut in 2015, this timepiece is a treasure for the collector seeking something extraordinary.
