Excited to share one of my prized acquisitions from last year – the Château de Gruyères 5538G-017. This gem was part of the 2023 Rare Handcraft collection. The Calatrava wristwatch features a dial adorned with wood marquetry depicting the charming town of Gruyères in the canton of Fribourg. The intricate design extends to showcase the bell tower of the church of Saint Théodule nestled at the foot of the hill.
Encased in a 37mm white-gold case in the "Officer's" style, featuring straight lugs and screwed bars.
