The oblong case with the flexible lugs lends the Michelangelo a striking elegance as well as a strong presence on the wrist. The watch features three mother-of pearl sub dials that have a beautiful shimmer, showing the day of the week, the date and the month in English. The phase of the moon is displayed at 6 o’clock in a fan-shaped cut-out, framed by a mother-of-pearl semicircle with the age of the moon. Gold indexes and blue hands on the ivory-coloured dial complete the exquisite overall appearance.
