A Historic 150th Anniversary Milestone & Ultra-Thin Flying Tourbillon Calibre 2968
The mechanical epicenter of this landmark complication houses the manufacture’s high-performance in-house self-winding movement, Calibre 2968. Meticulously built from 226 individual components and housing 33 jewels, this advanced caliber operates at a frequency of 3 Hz (21,600 vph) and delivers a 50-hour power reserve, all engineered within an incredibly slim movement framework of just 3.4 mm in thickness. Calibre 2968 operates a highly complex Flying Tourbillon system visible at 6 o’clock, which counteracts the effects of gravity on the regulating organ. The integration of a flying tourbillon, typically found in larger watches, into this highly wearable 38 mm case profile reflects the Manufacture’s deep commitment to micro-mechanical breakthrough, providing an unobstructed view of its floating cage and offering an elite statement of haute horology.
The Vibrant Energy & Brilliance of the Natural Red Ruby Root Dial Face
The visual profile of the face relies on a breathtaking red ruby root stone dial, ensuring that each individual timepiece produced possesses its own distinctive organic pattern and mineral texture. Characterized by deep, rich red hues, the vibrant energy and uncompromised brilliance of the ruby root stone provide a refined and elegant finish to this distinguished layout. To emphasize the stone’s uncompromised organic beauty and maintain an ultra-clean presentation, the dial layout utilizes luminescent-filled hands shaped from 18-carat white gold, framed smoothly by a matching red inner bezel that adds exceptional contemporary visual depth.
Refined 38 mm White Gold Geometry & Luxurious Red Alligator Strap
The physical case architecture measures a perfectly balanced 38 mm in diameter and an ultra-thin, ergonomic thickness of just 9.6 mm, providing exceptional comfort on the wrist for a high-complication watch. Forged entirely from solid premium 18-carat white gold, the multi-piece housing showcases alternating hand-polished bevels and satin-brushed planes that highlight the signature Code 11.59 design layout. Both the front face and the caseback are protected by an anti-reflective double glareproofed sapphire crystal, exposing the hand-finished caliber parts from behind. Completing this sovereign look, the timepiece comes mounted on a premium red alligator leather strap secured by an 18-carat white gold AP folding clasp, maintaining a technical water resistance of 30 m.
