Notes

Dial, case and movement signed. DIM. 21x 20 mm. THICKNESS 8 mm. Approx. overall length 140 mm. This is only the fifth example of a reference 3289/24 to appear at auction and only the second one in white gold. Seen with either baguette ruby or sapphires to complement the square cut-diamonds, this is the first example seen in white gold with sapphire diamonds, which is, in our opinion, the most pleasing of combinations.
