Made of white gold, diamonds, pink gold and 115 oval-cut rubies, the Rubis Secret high jewelry bracelet watch is truly an exceptional piece. Its stones showcase a dense and luminous consistency reminiscent of the Mozambique deposits. The house’s talented craftsmen succeeded in bringing together rubies that differ in cuts from oval to cushion, all the while matching in color. The precious stones are set in three arranged rows. Hidden under this harmonious setting is a secret watch that reveals the house’s high level of expertise and technicality. The dial comes to sight when the drawer is open by delicately pressing on the rubies.

Van Cleef & Arpels celebrates seasons this year with a new Poetic Complications collection and the Lady Nuit des Papillons timepiece takes part in it. This watch reflects a high level of creativity, technicality and wonder, which makes it a perfect embodiment of the mystery of the night. It features a 33mm case in white gold and diamonds, a diamond-set bezel and a crown set with one sapphire. The dial is made of diamond-set white gold and includes sapphires and a miniature painting. A blue navy alligator strap featuring a white-gold diamond-set pin buckle completes this numbered masterpiece, along with a high-jewelry bracelet set with diamonds and sapphires.
