I tried one of these but bracelet was quite stiff at the lugs and it didn't look great on me. To anyone considering this bracelet - search for smaller examples (I believe there's 36 & 39mm) if you have slim wrists.
Although, I pity the person who attempts to adjust the bracelet on their own.
It's a complexity of links, pins, and short, tiny collars.
Ref. 4531.40.00
Ref. 4831.40.00 on leather; 50.00 black dial; 31.00 white dial 38mm, cal. 2500
The DeVille in my photo is the 4831.32.31 made for the Japanese market.
The silver pie-pan dial and no-date caliber distinguish it from the other models mentioned. I've seen it most often on a strap.
It is beautiful! The question is who defines what is appreciated!
In my opinion the integrated watch hype and e.g. the few great (from the dozens of bad) Genta designs are massively overrated… 😅😉 But this will change again in the next decade and suddenly watches on leather straps is the thing to bet on…
I have a noble girlie wrist. The shape is far more important than the size
The watch is 38mm, the lug size is 19mm
