Catalogue Essay
The Frédérique Constant brand is a relatively new entry in to the world of horology, having been founded in 1998. Today, they are known for quality movements and classical design. The present limited edition "Manufacture Tourbillon" in pink gold was introduced in 2008 and featured a tourbillon with Silicon escapement wheel, giving the watch a high degree of precision. In excellent condition, number 25 is a traditional blend of complicated movement and Breguet-like simplicity. The dial with guilloche center and polished chapter ring has an intriguing retrograde night and day indicator, which harks back to the traditional masters. Complete with box and papers, and in excellent condition, this is a modern watch that fits well in to a collection that’s seeks the new and interesting.
