How do I bid? Start here

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 Master Calendar Moonphase ref. 2852MC. Featuring Franck Muller’s signature curved tonneau case design in stainless steel, this timepiece boasts a comfortable presence on the wrist that is almost entirely unique to Franck Muller. Sporting a stunning silver dial with a timeless complete calendar layout, this timepiece boasts a display that features a traditional triple hand design for its hours, minutes, and seconds, in addition to a fourth hand that is its pointer date hand, which points to a sunken chapter ring that finds itself within the ref. 2852MC’s guilloche pattern without a finish, and red lettering for its date inscriptions. Additionally, the ref. 2852MC’s dial also boasts the day and month at 12 o’clock via two window apertures. With Franck Muller’s signature exploding Arabic numerals and the Cintree Curvex’s unique case design, the ref. 2852MC is a watch that speaks to the brand’s unique design language in abundance.

Condition

The watch is in like-new condition. The diamond-set case shows only light handling marks. The white alligator strap displays some storage wear along the edges but is like-new. The watch is accompanied by its original box and papers.

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 10 or so years, the Cintrée Curvex stands as one of Franck Muller's most prototypical designs.
