Lot Essay

With Franck Muller Certificate of Origin stamped by Lisbon retailer Torres-Distribução, leather pouch, fitted wooden presentation box and outer packaging

Impressing with its large size, the present watch is a typical example of Franck Muller production, easily identified by the telltale large tonneau-shaped case design and the dial with large radial numerals. Interestingly, each and every mark on the dial - the numerals, the scale around the aperture for the tourbillon, the signatures, even the Swiss Made designation, is applied to the dial rather than printed. This painstaking technique ensures a much longer lasting dial, as there is no ink which might age and flake off.

Recently serviced by Franck Muller and consigned in superb condition, with its full original sale kit, the present timepiece is an attractive and impressive example of contemporary horology.
