Watch Description
A subtle combination of tradition and elegance, the Classics Premiere timepieces are housed in a delicate 38,50mm diameter rose gold-plated or steel case. On the dial, the applied indexes evolve around a mother of pearl, diamond-setting or a colimaçon decoration. Through the open caseback, which features a glassbox giving a magnifying glass effect on the back of the watch, one can admire the Côtes de Genève enhancing the G100 La Joux-Perret movement.
