Overview
Since its creation by Henri d'Origny in 1991, the Cape Cod watch has been recognized for its unique "square within a rectangle" case design. This gem-set rose gold edition enhances the collection’s classic aesthetic with a fresh, luxurious twist, making it an elegant choice for modern sophistication.
Design and Craftsmanship
The 31 mm rose gold case, measuring 23 mm in width, is exquisitely set with 46 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.41 ct, creating a radiant frame around the dial. The white natural mother-of-pearl dial adds a soft, ethereal glow and is further adorned with 8 diamond-set chatons (0.02 ct) for an extra touch of sparkle. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial while ensuring superb clarity. The long, single-turn pearl gray matte alligator strap complements the rose gold case beautifully and secures with a polished rose gold pin buckle for a luxurious finish.
