Master Eight Days Perpetual Pink Gold

In Context

At 40 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 12.8 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 50 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 192 hours of reserve puts it well past a weekend — several days off the wrist and it is still going. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

1612520 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a beige sunburst dial with a pink gold case.

Hand-wound movement with perpetual calendar and a power-reserve of 8 days. Number of pieces : 262 Vibrations per hour : 28800 Power-reserve : 8 Days Jewels : 37 Barrel : 2 Height : 6.60 mm
