The dial, in blue Grand Feu enamel features an 18K red gold ring. Silvery opaline hours and minutes sub-dials with blued stainless steel hands. The art of paillonné enameling consists of meticulously positioning tiny paillons of gold, one by one, to create perfectly geometrical patterns on the colored enamel itself, and then setting the design under a coat of translucent enamel fondant.
