Catalogue Essay
Same as reference 25820 but in an openwork version, reference 25829 was produced for the same period (1996-2013) and made in 371 pieces in steel, 102 pieces in yellow gold, 174 in pink gold, 156 in platinum, 25 in steel and platinum plus another one made in 2006, 15 pieces in tantalum and yellow gold, 16 in tantalum and platinum, and 16 in tantalum and pink gold.
The present example in stainless steel is a gem of horological design and technical dexterity, with extremely legible calendar indications and a superbly finished movement that can be admired on the dial side. Whereas the dial side of the watch has a very contemporary vibe, the back side is an ode to tradition with its openworked backplate and rotor which are delicately hand engraved.
