Rendez-Vous Jewellery Shooting Star Pink Gold - Diamond / Atelier des Métiers Rares

In Context

At 36 mm it is classically proportioned: the size a dress watch was understood to be for most of the twentieth century, and small enough to sit under a cuff. At 11.16 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, 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 winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 70 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

Q36424C2 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a multi-color dial with a pink gold case. It was a limited edition.

Self-winding movement with 'shooting star' complication that appears randomly four to six times per hour, or at whim by turning the crown several times.
