A work of art for the wrist. Sculpted into the sapphire, are the signature edges, bevels and facets of the artist Richard Orlinski.
 
In a 45 mm Classic Fusion case, The Classic Fusion Tourbillon Sapphire Orlinski for Only Watch showcases a white gold bezel, set with 54 baguette-cut topazes. Entirely transparent, it reveals an openworked architecture showcasing the gears, tourbillon cage and power reserve.

 

It will be delivered in a sapphire gift box, supported by the famous "Wild Kong" by Richard Orlinski.

 

"We have been a partner of this esteemed event organised by Only Watch since 2005. Each edition provides us with the opportunity to be more inventive and creative in support of the fight against this rare disorder affecting children. The concept of a unique piece, reminiscent of an objet d'art, means it was only natural for us to partner with sculptor Richard Orlinski this year. We are delighted and extremely proud to contribute to advances in research."
