Traditionnelle Self-Winding Small Seconds Pink Gold / Slate

In Context

At 38 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. At 8.02 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. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 40 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

87172/000R-B403 is one of 3 executions of the 87172/000R base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a grey dial and a pink gold case. Introduced in 2007.

Introduced in 2007, caliber 2455 is a self-winding movement with date at 3 and small seconds at 9. It is hallmarked with the Geneva seal.
