Moon phase retrograde date
4010U/000G-H070 42.5 mm White Gold
Moon phase retrograde date 4010U/000G-H070
Introduced by the Republic and Canton of Geneva in 1886 as the ultimate standard in excellence and an emblem of Geneva’s fine watchmaking expertise, the Poinçon de Genève or Hallmark of Geneva, is synonymous with provenance, quality craftsmanship and reliability.
This pared-down, original 18K white gold watch, with its retrograde date display combined with precise moon phase, makes it very easy to tell the time. Depicting two polished gold moons and a star-studded sky, this poetic complication only needs adjusting every 122 years. Inspired by the designs of the 1950s, the hour markers and hands follow the gentle curve of the dial. The new fresh olive green color strap gives the watch a resolutely contemporary twist.
An affirmation of uncompromising minimalism
Upholding the Maison’s stylistic and technical traditions, the Patrimony moon phase retrograde date watch favours timeless understatement. The slightly domed 42.5 mm white gold case featuring a sunburst dial in an old-silver-toned shade subtle contrasts with the pink gold of the hands and hour-markers for a two-tone twist.
The Manufacture's self-winding Calibre 2460 R31L powers two complications. One is a precision moon-phase indication at 6 o'clock, with graduations corresponding exactly to the lunar cycle of 29 days, 12 hours and 45 minutes, that requires correction just once every 122 years. The second deploys a retrograde date display across the top half of the dial, a technical and stylistic signature.
The originality of the olive-green alligator leather strap adds a fresh touch to the naturally understated aura of this Patrimony watch.
