Pequignet Burgundy Gold Edition

Pequignet Burgundy Gold Edition!
Emile Pequignet - Burgundy Enamel & Gold Bracelet, circa 1985
The embodiment of French elegance in gold and burgundy tones.
This Pequignet model is one of the brand's most exclusive designs from the mid-1980s, representing the brand's "bijou horlogerie" (jewelry watchmaking) ethos.
The burgundy enamel coating used on the dial, case, and bracelet is not only a color but also a signature of French haute couture aesthetics.

When Pequignet was founded in Morteau in 1973 by Émile Pequignet, its goal was clear: to combine Swiss mechanical excellence with French sensual elegance.
This model truly reflects that philosophy – a gold-plated, soft-lined case, a minimalist burgundy dial, and a scratch-resistant enamel bracelet, all combine the essence of 1980s post-Art-Déco French chic.

Collectible Value - Why Special? This model is a rare example of Pequignet's mission to "encapsulate French feminine elegance in a jewellery watch."

At the time of its release in the 1980s, there were very few brands that combined Swiss technical excellence with the spirit of French haute couture in the same watch – Pequignet was one of them.

The combination of a gold-plated case and a scratch-resistant burgundy enamel bracelet perfectly embodies the era's luxury jewellery watch fashion.

Today, this design is a sought-after piece in the "French Art Watch" category of Parisian vintage collections.

Mechanically, it is powered by a robust Swiss calibre, the ETA 956.114, making it an "elegant yet reliable" collector's item in terms of both aesthetics and durability.
