ColleCtion HigHligHt The Regent 1609 AD Limited Edition has complications—a grande date at the 12 o’clock position and a moon phase mechanism at 6 o’clock—but its beautiful design makes it a standout timepiece.

VARiAtionS Crafted in 18K white or rose gold, the model is limited to 219 pieces in each of two sizes (47mm high and 52mm high), with a variety of diamond settings available.
