The black dial with gilt markings creates a high contrast look unusual for ultra-thin dress watches.
The gilt dial is a painstaking process where the markings reveal the metal beneath the colored finish, with the gold seen being the dial plate itself.
The dial markings are not printed but are the solid gold dial base showing through the black coating.
The dial base is 18k rose gold, with a pinstripe guilloché pattern applied via a straight-line engine, and a chapter ring with a rose engine pattern.
The lugs curve downwards, offering a sleeker profile than the original model's straight, angular lugs.
The movement's bridges showcase rounded anglage, achieved by hand, which differs from standard flat chamfers.
