Sartory Billard's SB04-E Exquisite Blue Guilloché limited edition is a stunning timepiece that combines exquisite craftsmanship with a unique design. This collaboration with Exquisite Timepieces showcases the brand's ability to create a watch that is both visually striking and functional. With its icy blue hues, this watch is a bold statement piece that will turn heads, even in the warm climate of Florida.
The SB04-E Exquisite Blue Guilloché features a multi-patterned guilloché dial with a gradient blue finish that transitions to stark white. This intricate design is achieved through the use of CNC machines in Sartory Billard's Saint-Croix workshop, ensuring a level of precision and detail that is truly remarkable. The dial's outer portion is engraved with a pattern that reflects light, creating a mesmerizing effect. The gradient blue finish, transitioning from deep navy to pale sky blue, adds depth and character to the watch face.
The inner portion of the dial showcases a wave pattern radiating outward from the central pinion, finished in pristine white. The chapter ring, made of sapphire, features printed and applied indices that appear to float above the dial, thanks to the guilloché design. The even-numbered indices are diamond-cut and polished, while the odd-numbered indices and outer minute track are pad-printed, adding a touch of contrast. The hands are also diamond-cut and finished by hand, with the hour and minute hands filled with BGW9 Super-LumiNova for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions.
The watch case measures 39.5mm in diameter and is crafted from stainless steel, featuring a high-polished finish on the front and a brushed finish on the sides and back. The polished chamfered edge on both the front and back adds a touch of elegance. The concave bezel not only reflects light uniquely but also makes the 10.3mm thick case appear thinner. The 46mm lug-to-lug measurement ensures a compact and comfortable fit on a wide range of wrist sizes.
The SB04-E Exquisite Blue Guilloché is powered by the La Joux-Perret G101ET movement, which operates at 4HZ and boasts a 68-hour power reserve. This automatic movement features 24 jewels, measures 26mm in diameter by 4.45mm in thickness, and includes a tungsten rotor with the Sartory Billard logo. The case back, secured with Torx screws, has a prominent coin-edge finish and a sapphire display back, showcasing the movement's intricate details.
The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, equipped with a screw-down crown featuring the Sartory Billard logo and lumed markings. The included white rubber strap and stainless steel bracelet offer versatility, with both options curved to sit flush against the case for a seamless appearance. The white rubber strap comes with a Sartory Billard logo steel pin-buckle, while the H-link style bracelet features brushed outer links, polished center links, and a butterfly deployant clasp. Both straps and bracelets have quick-release spring bars for easy strap changes.
Sartory Billard's SB04-E Exquisite Blue Guilloché is a limited edition of 25 pieces, exclusively available from Exquisite Timepieces. The watch's price is set at US$6,400, making it an investment piece for watch enthusiasts seeking a unique and luxurious timepiece.
