Unlike the very vast majority of the production, this Franck Muller Master Banker was crafted in platinum. Furthermore, it was the first one of the series as it bears the number “01” on its caseback.

These two characteristics already place this present lot in the category of the highly collectible Franck Muller pieces.

Additionally, this watch features one of the signature functions of the Master of Complications: the triple time zone. Surrounded by the concentric and elongated Breguet numbers, the two subsidiary dials, respectively placed at 12 and 6 o’clock, fit perfectly with the tonneau-shape case.

As such, this present piece gathers the key criteria’s when it comes to choosing the perfect wrist companion, rarity, collectability, useful complications and eye-pleasant design.
