he Cleopatra model is inspired by the ancient allure of Egypt and the timeless charm and beauty of the legendary Cleopatra. She was the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt and one of history’s most iconic figures. Her reign marked a period of cultural flourishing. This exceptional creation, distinguished by a central device that resembles a lavish yet delicate fan, is adorned with 30 diamonds and mother-of-pearl inlays. 

Lightweight and comfortable on the wrist, the new Cleopatra is crafted from grade 5 titanium for the 36.5mm diameter case, and is available with either a polished bezel or a bezel set with 64 diamonds. The lugs and case middle have a polished finish that highlights the elegant appearance of the watch. The dial is embellished with a sunray pattern in relief and a precious solitaire diamond set at 12 o’clock.

Each model is available in five dial colours with evocative names that refer to Cleopatra’s country of origin: Perle du Nile (white mother-of-pearl), Azur de Thèbes (sky blue), Rosée d’Alexandrie (pink), Plume de Paon (petrol green) and Kohl Eternel (anthracite). Thanks to the quick-release system, the titanium bracelet can easily be replaced with the calf leather strap that matches the colour of the dial and is supplied with the watch. At the heart of the Cleopatra lies the P-181-H calibre, an automatic movement designed and built in-house.
