Lot Essay

Introduced in 2007, the “third invention” from haute horology specialists Greubel Forsey focused on a completely new tourbillon system that was inclined at 25 degrees and completed a revolution in 24 degrees.
This tourbillon is clearly visibly via a wide opening on the dial and a lateral window on the caseband. The fast rotation speed and inclined angle help solve the problem of critical positions of the oscillator in relation to gravity.
Housed in an asymmetric and imposing 18k white gold case, the watch has a solid black gold dial with a power reserve indicator a the 2 o’ clock position. The watch is offered here in good condition with its full set of accessories.
