Description

The perfect balance of classicism & modernity in a watch • Here is the Romain Gauthier ‘The Prestige HM’
It is the first watch created by Mr Gauthier in 2006 and still one of the most elegant timepiece he brought to us.
A perfect round case of 41mm in platinum with a thickness of only 12.1mm • The dial has a spectacular grey «guilloché» patterns that surrounds a lovely grey sunburst off-centered hours & minutes display. White gold hands indicates the time with black roman indexes on a white ring but what catches the eye on this fabulous piece is the lack of a crown and how the case is perfectly harmonious.  Romain Gauthier wanted to have this symmetry and therefore decided to put the crown on the case-back, an easy and genius way to wind and set the time with a wheel that can be manipulated very easily.
The manual-winding movement is visible through the sapphire case back next to it’s unique « wheel », The beautiful finish on the bridges and the micro-rotor are breathtaking ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A genuine blue alligator strap will fit this limited edition of only 38 pieces around your wrist
