This rare minute repeater was manufactured by Christophe Claret for De Grisogono exclusively. The dial features an interpretation of a mechanism inspired by a reflex camera. Made out of twelve mobile titanium blades, the diaphragm opens once the slide for the minute repeater is activated, revealing the movement for the duration of the chimes before closing again.
The present lot is in overall excellent condition, plays beautiful Cathedral chimes and is for the first time offered at Christie's.
