Introduction
Founded in 1992 by Franck Muller and Vartan Sirmakes and known as the "Master of Complications," Franck Muller, the brand, has grown to become synonymous with complex microengineering, original whacky designs, and incredible attention to detail. Speaking to those traits, the watch we have here is a striking reminder of Franck Muller’s unique aesthetic, the Cintrée Curvex Chronograph ref. 6850 CC AT. Featuring Franck Muller’s signature curved tonneau case design in 18kt yellow gold, this timepiece boasts a comfortable presence on the wrist that is almost entirely unique to Franck Muller. Sporting a stunning silver sunburst dial with an engraved pattern throughout and three sunken subdials for its chronograph, the ref. 6850 CC AT’s display is luxurious and full of depth. Fitted with Franck Muller’s iconic exploding Arabic numerals, this timepiece is a not-so-subtle reminder of Franck Muller’s unique take on horological design.

THE DIAL
Fitted with a silver display that speaks to Franck Muller's signature dial design, the Cintree Curvex Chronograph features a concentrically engraved pattern throughout and sunken subdials that give the watch an impressive level of depth.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Featuring an 18kt yellow gold 34mm x 40mm case, the Cintrée Curvex's short lugs and curved tonneau-shaped case wrap around the wrist in a manner that creates quite a comfortable wearing experience.
TIMING MACHINE READOUT
This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.
Condition
Watch is in overall near-mint condition. The yellow gold case shows a few small superficial surface scratches, while the case back retains crisp engravings and hallmarks, with a tiny nick visible to the back of the case. The dial and hands remain near mint. It is fitted with a brown Franck Muller alligator strap and a gold buckle, both remaining in excellent condition.
Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.
Our Perspective
Epitomizing the aesthetic uniqueness that Franck Muller has come to stand for over the last 20 or so years, the Cintrée Curvex Chronograph stands as one of Franck Muller's most prototypical designs, thanks to its case and dial design.
