Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantième Satin-Brushed Blue 43mm
Playing with light and shadow, Jaquet Droz has made indexes from 18 carat white gold. This noble material gives slightly different reflection than the steel of the case. The watch comes in two diameters: a timelessly elegant 39mm, and a bold and contemporary 43mm.
The Grande Seconde Quantième Satin-Brushed Blue is powered by a self-winding mechanical movement with a silicon balance spring and pallet lugs - Jaquet Droz 2660Q2.P, Thanks to its double barrel, the movement ensures up to 68 hours of power reserve. The movement is visible through the sapphire case-back engraved with the individual serial number of the watch. Both versions are water resistant to 30 meters and coupled with a rolled-edge hand-made blue alligator leather strap with stainless steel folding clasp. The price for both versions is EUR 9,700.
