QUAI DE L’ILE DAtE SELF-WINDING – REF. 86050
Named for the brand’s historic Geneva address, the new Quai de l’Ile line reveals the manufacture’s pioneering character while
drawing on more than 250 years of experience. The Quai de l’Ile Date Self-Winding makes an immediate impact with a semitransparent
dial, suspended displays, an appealing modern case, and an intriguing combination of materials. With a dial embodying
the very latest security-printing technologies and a cushion-shaped case, the designers opted for a theme of transparency and
avant-garde design. Visible through the dial, the movement is stamped with the prestigious Geneva Hallmark designed, developed
and manufactured in-house. The rhodium-plated Caliber 2460QH displays the date via a disc and is housed in a 41mm 18K pinkgold
case with gray dial. Also available in palladium with gray dial and rhodium-plated movement, and in titanium with dark dial
and ruthenium movement, it is delivered with two straps: one in black or dark brown hand-stitched, saddle-finish, large squarescaled
alligator leather; one in dark brown or black vulcanized rubber with a refined and elegant design.
