-Description
Boucheron is a French jewelry brand founded by Frédéric Boucheron in 1858.In 1893, Boucheron became the first high jeweler to open a boutique in the Place Vendôme in Paris.
Although a jeweler, the brand has a very long history of watchmaking, launching a pocket watch in 1859 and its first wristwatch collection in 1885. In 1974, the brand's emblematic watch "Reflet" was created.
As a jewelry house, the brand has a strong image of ladies' watches, but it also produces many men's watches. Many of the watches have an atmosphere similar to that of Cartier due to the early adoption of Art Deco design.
This watch is an automatic thin dress watch produced in 1998 to commemorate the company's 140th anniversary, limited 140 pieces.
The case is a round case made of 18k white gold. The classical straight lugs and step bezel are eye-catching.
The case size is 36mm, which is a standard size for a watch of this age, but you will not feel that it is large because of the thin lugs and the thinness of the watch itself.
The caseback of the watch has a transparent glass back, allowing to see the finely finished movement. The watch was also sold with practical waterproof, as the caseback is screwed on and has a fish symbol on it.
The dial is a silver two-tone dial. The design is very similar to Patek Philippe Calatrava 5196P.
It is a very sophisticated combination of multiple guilloche engraved baseplate, polished Breguet numeral indexes, and gently curved leaf hands.
The movement is an automatic Frédérique Piguet Cal. 1150. It is a thin, high-end movement with the date at the 4 o'clock position.
Frédéric Piguet was the manufacturer that supplied movements to Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, and Audemars Piguet, and was also instrumental in the revival of Blancpain.
This watch has a Breguet classic case, a Patek Calatrava 5196P dial, and a Frédéric Piguet movement, making it a watch that will impress those who like it.
Comes with a genuine 18K white gold Deployant-buckle.

In order to achieve this, the presence of a skilled repair craftsman is essential.
How well the work is done depends largely on the thoughts of the craftsman.
The watchmakers who Arbitro asks are craftsmen who do not cut corners in such areas, so we ask them to carry out the repair work with peace of mind.
About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
