Slim, slick
and sexy.
Reference number: P22.243-A10
Prelude Automatic. It has three hands, a very thin case made of solid 18-carat gold, a mechanical movement and you wear it around your wrist. Sounds pretty much like the essence of a wristwatch, right? Practically speaking, nowadays you hardly need it, but it is a piece of jewellery that reflects your personal story. Make it yours by personalising it, with your unique text on the dial for example.

This is the thinnest case we've made so far. With its 8.8mm height, it is extraordinarily slim for an automatic timepiece. It is crafted from solid 18 carat gold (4N). The case is fully polished, however, the sides are manually brushed horizontally.
