The present watch is an extraordinary treasure from the earlier years of Franck Muller. The case is lavishly set with diamonds while the indexes are sapphire, not to mention the movement with a rare combination of minute repeater and grande and petite sonnerie. The thrill of the game can be activated by a button on the case band to spin the roulette on the case back, also an uncommon feat on any kind of watch. Unique and one of a kind, the present watch impresses the collector for its playful touch.
