Boucheron is one of the most prestigious French jewellery and watchmaking maisons. Founded in Paris in 1858 by Frédéric Boucheron, the house became the first jeweller to establish itself on Place Vendôme in 1893, a location that remains its historic home to this day. Renowned for its creativity, technical innovation and exceptional gemstones, Boucheron has served royal families, maharajas and prominent collectors for more than a century.
Reflecting the bold creativity and expressive style of the 1970s, this striking yellow gold, coral, and diamond-set wristwatch exemplifies the era's fascination with natural materials and sculptural forms. Its distinctive bracelet is composed of baton-shaped links reminiscent of sections of bamboo, alternating yellow gold elements with vibrant coral segments to create a remarkably original and harmonious design.
The elegant round coral dial is framed by a diamond-set bezel, adding refinement and brilliance to the warm tones of the composition.
Accompanied by a matching yellow gold and coral ring, this ensemble forms a rare and highly decorative set. Preserved in attractive overall condition, it represents a superb example of the colourful and imaginative jewellery watch creations that defined the period.
