Meteorite originates from the core of an asteroid, or potentially a fragmented planet that exploded, sending fragments on a cosmic journey across the Solar System until, by chance, they enter Earth’s orbit and are drawn by gravity to our planet. During this prolonged voyage, the meteorite’s core undergoes a slow cooling process, creating unique and intricate metallic patterns unlike any other natural material.


The present example showcases a stunning meteorite dial adorned with diamond hour markers, elegantly housed in a pink gold case and matched with a coordinating bracelet. This exquisite combination offers a striking contrast between the raw cosmic texture and refined precious metal, resulting in a watch of exceptional character and beauty.


Offered in never-worn condition with factory stickers intact, this timepiece is a rare opportunity to own a sophisticated celestial work of art.
