True to his reputation as "Master of Complications", Franck Muller launched the unusual "Conquistador" model, which features a large, mirror polished, tonneau-shaped Curvex Art Deco rose gold case with a thickness of 16 mm. The dial is silvered and engine-turned with large Arabic numerals, beautifully curved, blued hands with luminous fill and a date window at 6 o’clock.
