Jaquet Droz Gold Leaf Carved Enamel Petite Heure Minute
The Jaquet Droz Gold Leaf Carved Enamel Petite Heure Minute represents the brand’s mastery of high-craft watchmaking and artistic design. Introduced at Baselworld 2014, this Petite Heure Minute Paillonnée edition showcases the rare paillonné enamelling technique, a centuries-old method that integrates gold leaf into enamel to create a sparkling, intricate dial surface.
Artistic Dial & Craftsmanship
The dial combines blue Grand Feu enamel with meticulously engraved gold leaf applied over it. This layered approach produces a luminous, multidimensional effect, highlighting the precision and artistry of Jaquet Droz’s watchmakers. The Petite Heure Minute layout provides ample space for the gold leaf patterns to be admired without interference from additional complications.
Case & Materials
Encased in a 38mm 18K rose gold case, the watch exudes elegance and balance. The sapphire crystal case back allows a view of the Caliber 2653 automatic movement, featuring a dual barrel design that delivers an impressive 68-hour power reserve. This movement combines both reliability and refined finishing to complement the artistic exterior.
Limited Edition & Exclusivity
This edition is extremely exclusive, limited to only 8 pieces worldwide, making it a rare collector’s item. Each watch is paired with an alligator leather strap and 18K rose gold pin buckle, completing the luxurious presentation.
