Launched in 2001, this tourbillon complication from Frederique Constant’s Highlife collection is dressed in curvaceous platinum case fitted with convex sapphire crystal and screw-down, flat sapphire back. Inside this ultra luxury timepiece, beats the FC-800 hand tourbillon movement that beats at the rate of 28’800 V/h, and delivers power reserve up to 72 hours. The silver plated dial boasts tourbillon window at 6 o’clock, date indicator at 12 o’clock, powerful Arabic numerals, the solid-gold brand emblem at 3 o’clock and blackened steel leaf hands. This spectacular timepiece looks great when worn with an elegant bracelet in hand-sewn crocodile leather.
