Description

Galet, or “pebble” in French, describes the signature feature of the brand’s cases used across its collection — with soft curves, domed crystals and rounded edges reminding one of a smooth pebble. The shaped further evolved into “Galet Square” to form a cushion shape case intended to assert a bolder presence on the wrist than the models that inspired it.

The present reference Galet Square Dubai Edition features a unique mint green dial and is limited to just 7pcs, making it an extremely rare model.

The stainless steel case measures 41mm X 41mm and boasts of all the iconic features of the Galet Square: cushion shape with soft edges, short lugs, and a large crown partly recessed into the case. The time-only watch has no indices, but just the trade-mark Laurent Ferrier hands, with a seconds sub-dial floating in the expanse of the mesmerising green dial.

The sapphire caseback reveals the stunning self-winding FBN 229.01 caliber with unidirectional pawl-fitted micro-rotor and a three-day power reserve. This is the third in-house movement developed, assembled and adjusted in the Laurent Ferrier workshops. It is equipped with silicon escapement featuring double direct impulse on the balance.

The finishing is spectacular. LF has left no stone unturned (or in this case, no pebble unturned). Be it the depth of Geneva stripes or the polishing on the anglage, the attention to detail is incredible.

This super-rare timepiece is offered on a black alligator strap with contrasting green stitching, matching the dial.
