A masterclass in horological complexity and classical elegance, the Franck Muller Cintrée Curvex Perpetual Calendar Chronograph is a remarkable testament to the brand’s dedication to traditional craftsmanship and technical innovation. Housed in the iconic tonneau-shaped Cintrée Curvex case, this exceptional timepiece seamlessly integrates a perpetual calendar, retrograde month indicator, and chronograph, each complication thoughtfully arranged for optimal legibility and visual harmony.
At its core is a highly sophisticated self-winding movement, precisely engineered to account for leap years and irregular month lengths, ensuring the calendar remains accurate with minimal intervention. The retrograde month display adds dynamic motion and mechanical intrigue, while the chronograph function enhances the watch with both utility and sporting elegance.
The dial is a showcase of Franck Muller’s signature aesthetic: bold, stylized numerals, a refined sunray guilloché finish, and a multi-layered architecture that offers depth without compromising clarity.
Offered here is an exquisite opportunity to acquire a highly collectible complication piece, an enduring celebration of mechanical artistry and timeless design.
