In the early 2000s when diamond set watches came to be the height of fashion once again, the company created a series of exceedingly rare gem set chronographs.The current lot is presented in yellow gold with a diamond set dial and 24 baguette diamonds to the bezel. The 116568BR is also powered by the in-house calibre 4130. This calibre has fewer components compared to other chronographs making it more reliable and offers additional space for a mainspring to increase the power reserve from 50 hours to 72 hours.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
