Known for its iconic octagonal bezel, the Laureato Absolute collection regularly brings contrasting shapes together for a bold and contemporary look. The case of this version - created in a 44mm metallized sapphire crystal case, with a crystal case middle and caseback that are thermally treated and put through a metallization process to endow a smoky look - took more than 170 hours to make. The complex self-winding mechanical skeletonized movement consists of 172 components.
