As VC&A states, "Designed by Pierre Arpels in 1949, the watch that bears his name epitomizes Van Cleef & Arpels' vision of masculine elegance. A blend of sophistication and restraint, it is notable for a thin case held by two central attachments.
Built with a distinctive look that includes Vendome lugs crown, it is both luxurious and very fine. It has a high fashion neo-classic design and top-tier 18K gold construction.
This model was almost certainly built for Van Cleef & Arpels by Piaget - similar VC&A watches are double signed with Piaget, and it is signed Van Cleef & Arpels throughout the dial, movement, and case.
Originally designed for men, as a mid-sized watch it is well-suited for a man who wants a smaller dress size watch or a woman looking for a more modern size luxury watch.
Powering it is one of the company's very fine quartz movements. Photos of the inside available upon request.
100% of its parts are Van Cleef & Arpels including the signed buckle. The only replacement part is the new aftermarket leather strap. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10.
The case presents as mint. And the dial and crystal both present like new.
A Master Watchmaker has installed a new battery and performed any needed servicing. For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap and the watch's original buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
Current price the newest version: $14,300 plus tax.
