Ref: 5538G-017 Château de Gruyères
Wishing you all a Happy New Year! May everyone enjoy good health in 2024.
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.
It houses a caliber R TO 27 manually wound movement with 40 - 48 hours of power reserve. This remarkable timepiece, with its minute-repeater and tourbillon, stands out as a true horological masterpiece.

Posts ever !!!! MR, Tourbillon and rare handcraft but not just any RH but wood marquetry. Out of all RH motives I gravitate towards landscapes/ classic town motives the most. I’m actually amazed that PP made 10 pieces. Seems quite a lot given the complexi...
