Arceau Petite Lune 38mm Watch Misty Blue Alligator Strap

Description of the Watch

The Hermès Arceau Petite Lune 38 mm Watch with Misty Blue Alligator Strap, reference W404086WW00, is a dazzling expression of celestial elegance. Crafted with a gem-set stainless steel case, a shimmering opaline silver dial, and driven by the Hermès H1837 Manufacture movement with a Petite Lune moon phase module, this large model captures both technical sophistication and ethereal beauty.

Overview

First imagined by Henri d’Origny in 1978, the Arceau collection's classic lines and equestrian-inspired asymmetrical lugs now meet the poetry of the moon. This Petite Lune edition adds the wonder of a lunar complication to Hermès’ timeless craftsmanship, making it perfect for those who dream as much as they achieve.

Design and Craftsmanship

The 38 mm stainless steel case is adorned with 99 brilliant-cut diamonds (0.385 ct), creating a radiant halo around the dial. The opaline silver dial is subtly set with 15 additional diamonds (0.036 ct), enhancing the sparkling aesthetic. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal on both the front and back ensures clarity and showcases the intricate movement. The dial layout features elegant timekeeping indicators, a date aperture at 6 o’clock, and a delicately positioned moon phase display at 10:30. Completing the look is a misty blue matte alligator strap, secured with a polished steel pin buckle, adding a dreamy and modern touch.
