ity, applying to all aesthetic and functional aspects of a timepiece. The ultra-thin movement is visible through the transparent sapphire case back. The domed dial requires long and careful work. The un- derlying base, embossed with a concentric wave pattern, is coated with more than 50 successive layers of translu- cent purple lacquer. This decor creates a fascinating depth effect, over which the rose-gilt-powdered, arrow-shaped hour markers and the faceted rose-gold dauphine hands appear to be delicately floating. The shade of the dial is
echoed by the purple calfskin strap, with its satinated fin- ish and rose-gold prong buckle. The bezel is, set with 76 round, internally flawless Top Wesselton diamonds (0.55 cts.) and highlights the dial’s embossed pattern of concentric waves and the entirely pol- ished case. The new rose gold Reference 4997/200R-001 joins the white gold Reference 4997/200G-001 in the current collection.
