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!
