Armand Nicolet LL9 Limited Edition
Swiss luxury watch maker Armand Nicolet presents a brand new Limited Edition timepiece collection LL9 dedicated to women. This line draws inspiration from the successful M03 collection but features the original vintage movement AN704A.
This is a new Armand Nicolet calibre manufactured starting from the original FHF 905 movements produced in 1960. This movement has been modified and upgraded making the AN704A a perfect mix of great Swiss mechanical tradition with the most modern techniques of watchmaking.
The limited amount of movements produced (500 pieces) relates to the quantity of the original components from 1960 that are still available in the factory.
This prestigious line is available in stainless steel 316L, featuring silvered, black or grey dial combined with matching alligator straps or metal bracelet.
The two-toned version, in stainless steel 316L and 18 Kt rose gold 5N, is available with silvered or grey dial. Each version features a guilloché dial with delicate white MOP inserts, set with 5 brilliant cut diamonds Top Wesselton-vs (carats: 0.05).
Just like the M03 line, the LL9 can also be set with Top Wesselton diamonds on the bezel (“D” version), on the bezel and lugs (“L” version) or on the complete case (“V” version).
Each piece of this line is a model of exceptional value and style thanks to the wise combination of a collector’s unique movement and the expertise of the master watch-makers who created a timeless piece of unrepeatable beauty for a limited crew of elegant women.
