Frédérique Constant Highlife Ladies Automatic steel and yellow gold watch with white dial steel bracelet 34 mm

An iconic collection

Born in 1999, the Highlife collection has marked the history of the Geneva-based company Frédérique Constant. Since its launch, it has embodied the values that have contributed to the brand's success: a faithful design inspired by fine Swiss watchmaking, a high degree of finishing and a particular care to offer the right price for affordable luxury. Back in 2020, it is more modern than ever! After several urban, sporty, jewelled or adventurous variations, the brand is opening up to a new universe by playing the glamour chic card.

A gold and silver combo

Why choose between gold and silver tones? This new Highlife Ladies Automatic offers both. Its curved 34 mm diameter case is designed to highlight the rich palette of reflections offered by yellow gold. The brand has therefore opted for a wide range of finishes alternating between satin and polished surfaces. This is true of the bezel, which is entirely mirror polished to emphasize the harmony of its perfect circle. It is doubly echoed in the heart of the dial, with the engraved representation of the globe, the aesthetic signature of the Highlife collection.

The delicate curved case is satin-finished to match every line of the Highlife design, right up to the edge of the case middle, where the bracelet is entirely "mix & match" between gold and steel. The latter alternates two satin-finished links with a polished central link, a remarkable finishing job that testifies to the affection of the Frédérique Constant manufacture. This very chic bracelet will have its shock counterpart, with a second bracelet (supplied) in rubber and gold-plated pin buckle. It will either reinforce the modern and urban spirit of the steel, or play the balance against a bright, shiny, yellow plated gold.

Technical side

This Highlife Ladies Automatic is equipped with the FC-303 self-winding caliber. Beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, it offers a comfortable 38-hour power reserve and, above all, an attractive finish. Visible through its transparent caseback, its mechanical intimacy is unrestricted, with finishes dear to the Geneva manufacture, such as the Côtes de Genève, circular graining and also colimaçonnage.
