Unlike other conventional watches, the chronograph in the watch can be triggered by an ergonomic system with a rocker arm where it can also reduce the slight energy loss and inaccuracy upon activation.
Housing the magnificent movement is an elegant pink gold case with a complementing pink gold dial, aesthetically establishes a huge presence among other chronographs. A master class for innovative chronographs, the watch remains one of the best collects ible t.mes pieces years to come.
