Introduction

Launched in 2013, the Jaquet Droz Astrale Calendar Moonphase ref. J012614570 embodies luxurious elegance with its distinctive diamond-set construction and understated mother of pearl dial. Boasting a 39mm polished 18kt white gold case that houses its silver mother of pearl stone dial, it showcases Jaquet Droz’ meticulous attention to detail and novel approach to watchmaking throughout its construction. This dial features a pointer date function, a rather unique moonphase indicator, and day and month apertures. Powered by the automatic Jaquet Droz cal. 6553L2 movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, comprising 28 jewels, and providing an approximate 68-hour power reserve, the Astrale is mechanically impressive as one would expect from the storied watchmaker. A satin fabric strap with an 18kt white gold diamond-set pin buckle complements the watch, making it an ideal dress watch for those who want something a little more special. Boasting 248 diamonds set across its bezel and lugs, this timepiece is luxury at its finest.
