This Trianon Atmos watch is very rare, due to the circular balustrade on the cover plate and was only produced for five years from1969 and 1974. The gilt metal case is closed all around. A small window in the door reveals the torsion pendulum.The model name "Trianon" is inspired by two of Louis XIV.’s summer residences with circular balustrades (Grand Trianon und Petite Trianon), which inspired the design of the watch.
The Trianon is newly revised.
