Perrelet launches a Prestige Edition of its Diamond Flower Collection with diamonds, baguettes, rubies, sapphires or emeralds beautifully set on the bezel, case and lugs. If the Diamond Flower wasn't already attractive enough, this new collections is going to be turning heads all over Basel!
The Diamond Flower Collection was launched in 2008 to much acclaim due to its magical women’s complication. The timepieces house Perrelet’s unique and patented invention called the Double Rotor. One of the rotors is in the form of a lotus flower on the face of the dial and the other oscillating weight is to be found on the back of the movement. Both are linked and are perfectly synchronised to provide the 40-hour power reserve. This is a great complication to get women interested in mechanical watches as they can actually see the rotor spinning around on their wrist.
The Prestige Collection takes this feminine timepiece to the next level on the glamour charts with seven exceptional precious stone interpret-ations. Perrelet explains that the rubies reflect passion, the emeralds denote hope, the sapph-ires represent the infinite skies and ocean and the diamonds and baguette diamonds stand for eternity. How can any female consumer possibly decide?
Photographed here are a white gold and diamond version with a whopping 1,045 VSI Top Wesselton diamonds (10.48 carats); a rose gold, chocolate mother-of-pearl and diamond version with 593 VS1 Top Wesselton diamonds (3.41 carats) and a white gold and ruby version with 238 rubies (2.43 carats). All of the Diamond Flower Prestige Editions are equipped with anti-glare sapphire crystals front and back, crocodile straps, deployment buckles and are water resistant to 50 metres.
Perrelet has announced that it will be releasing a new Diamond Flower duo in black and white ceramic.
