The present Corum Rialto reflects the manufacture’s highly expressive approach to dress watch design during the 1990s. Housed in an 18k gold case with articulated lugs, the watch features a two-tone dial centred by a stylised sun motif framed by Roman numerals. Numbered 12 of 30 examples, the watch combines decorative dial architecture with the sculptural case forms for which Corum became known during the period. Offered with its accessories, the present example represents a particularly theatrical limited production from the manufacture.
