The movement, wounded by a platinum rotor, is a work of art in itself and deserves its praise.

Please note that the proceeds of the sale of the present watch will be given by the Consignor to various charities.

    Specializing in top-quality timepieces, Swiss watchmaking company Franck Muller was founded in 1991 in Geneva. The company was named after watchmaker Franck Muller, also known as the "Master of Complications," and Vartan Sirmakes, Co-Founder and CEO of the Franck Muller Group.
