Frederique Constant proudly unveils the most exclusive version of its Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture yet. For the first time, the movement powers a solid rose gold timepiece, made available here in a limited edition of 150 numbered watches.

A paragon of timeless elegance, the model draws inspiration from the canons of traditional fine watchmaking, with three hand-polished central hands sweeping across a silvered dial sporting a fine sunburst finish and at six o’clock, a moonphase ingeniously combined with a hand indicating the date.

Powered by the all-new in-house FC-716 movement, now covered by a five-year warranty, this Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture transcends fashion and spans the generations.

A 72-HOUR POWER RESERVE

The new model come with both a style makeover and more significantly, new technical features made possible by their new FC-716 Manufacture calibre. This has been fitted with a brand-new barrel providing a three-day power reserve – 72 hours in all.

HIGH PRECISION

On the caseback, the Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture also embodies all the care and attention Frederique Constant devotes to finishings. A transparent crystal offers a view of the new FC-716 movement with its pearling and Côtes de Genève finishes. The high-precision movement beats at 4 Hertz; its capacity to return swiftly to absolutely regular oscillations makes it better able to withstand the vagaries of everyday wear.

THE STRAP

The watch is offered with a navy blue alligator leather strap, adorned with matching stitching. This choice of materials and finishes lends the piece a sophisticated and timeless elegance, enhancing its refined appearance. The alligator leather, renowned for its luxurious texture and durability, ensures exceptional comfort on the wrist, while the tone-on-tone stitching adds a subtle touch of artisanal perfection.
