Description
The Cadenas, created in 1935, was inspired by the American socialite Wallis Simpson and has gone on to become one of the most iconic Van Cleef & Arpels watches. This sleek and slinky bracelet watch transports you straight back to the Art Deco era of streamlined, architectural designs and allowed women to consult the time discreetly while enjoying the elegance of a high jewelry bracelet. The original Van Cleef & Arpels Cadenas watch of the 1930s featured a double gold snake chain attached to the wrist by an angular padlock-shaped clasp. Revisited by the maison some 80 years later, some tweaks have been made to the dial, the stone setting and the clasp. The watch, which respects its original inclined position, gains in readability with an enlarged dial and 12 hour markers. This timely revision of one of the most instantly recognizable Van Cleef & Arpels watches of all time is offered in different models presented on gold bracelets or alligator leather straps. This Cadenas features a stainless steel quartz wristwatch, black dial and approximately 30 meters of water resistance. Stainless steel case and bracelet. Case back secured by 4 screws, Caliber 280.002, quartz movement with 5 jewels. With Van Cleef & Arpels pouch only.
