Hands On The Dior VIII Grand Bal Pièce Unique Envol No.5 Watch
Dior cracked open the archaeological archives for Baselwolrd 2015 by introducing the Dior VIII Grand Bal Pièce Unique “Envol” No.5, a watch full of mystique and ancient Egyptian magic. This one-of-a-kind timepiece features the brand’s innovative oscillating weight at the center of a higly decorated dial boasting shoking pink hands against a rippling background of scarab beetle elytra marquetry.
Green baguette-cut tsavorite of 2.70 carats nestle joyously inside of the yellow gold paved bezel whilst the opalescent brilliant-cut diamonds on its bezel rim glimmer with refinement. But the jewel in the crown is the small rose-cut diamond embedded inside of its time-setting function.
This 36mm timepiece comes with a metallic green or black satin strap, depending on which takes your fancy at the time, and sits comfortbaly on the wrist at only 72.43 grams. It is secured by a white gold prong buckle set with brilliant-cut diamonds. Like the scarab beetle, the Dior VIII Grand Bal Pièce Unique Envol No.5 transforms and brings to life any outift, illuminating its darkened haunt with vibrant colours and a sliver of bright yellow.
The Dior VIII Grand Bal Pièce Unique “Envol” No.5 once again houses Calibre Inversé II ½, a patented movement that can be admired through the sapphire crystal glass of the caseback.
