Description

My goal is (1) simple clean listings with all details (2) Priced fairly. I am a collector, not a dealer/business. And with too many watches and 1 wrist, it's time to trim the collection. Here we have my:

Jaquet Droz Stone/Mineral Dial (made of the actual stone, Heart of Ruby) - Limited Edition of 8
42.5mm white gold case

Dial: Heart of Ruby -- rather than a polished and faceted gem, Jaquet Droz uses a single slice of the stone as the watch's dial itself. Absolutely unbelievable. Watch looks different at different angles, pretty amazing.
Box: Yes (box has the matching serial number imprinted as the watch)
Papers: Yes
Reference: Grande Seconde - Mineral Dial Limited Edition, 8 made total
Case: 42.5mm, solid white gold
Strap: Droz signed strap
Buckle: Droz signed white gold tang buckle

My thoughts on the watch: a work of art. To make a dial out of the center of a huge ruby stone is unique in a world of very few truly unique watches.

Priced at $10,950, open to trades, price includes shipping CONUS FedEx overnight insured from here in San Francisco, CA. Wire only. Lots of references. Thanks for looking!

Back from Geneva and wearing this today. I had to shoot a video so
dressed up a bit and thought the Jaquet Droz Paillonee would do the trick. This is a very interesting watch. The dial is a blue enamel (or lacquer?) over a guilloche dial as the base. You can see it in one of the photos by looking at the left side of the watch in the light. The gold leaf “Paillons”
