OMEGA, LOUIS BRANDT, A POSSIBLY UNIQUE GOLD, DIAMOND AND RUBY-SET AUTOMATIC PERPETUAL CALENDAR WITH MOON PHASES AND BRACELET
This incredibly luxurious and stunning ‘Louis Brandt’ bracelet watch is the only publicly known example of this model and, according to our research, it is also the only example of this design to appear at auction (it was first sold at Christie's Geneva in May 2023).
A complicated and lavishly jewelled timepiece, it features a perpetual calendar with leap-year indication and moon phases. The sumptuous aesthetic is provided by the pavè diamond-set dial with ruby hour indexes that perfectly complements the diamond and ruby-set bezel. The substantial 18k gold bracelet is integral to the case that is fitted with a display back in order to admire the beautifully hand-engraved caliber 716 automatic movement.
This jewel of watchmaking, weighing a total of 108 grams has an innate style and superb 1980s vintage vibe that transcends fashion.
