CHANEL Première Edition Originale quartz watch black lacquered dial steel bracelet yellow gold and black leather 20 mm

The brief history

In 1987, the Maison CHANEL created a true masterpiece : the Première watch. If no one bet then on its success, Jacques Helleu, Artistic Director of the House, nevertheless succeeded in the feat of shaping a jewel-watch respecting the codes of the House : the intertwined chain of the timeless quilted handbag 2.55 but also the octagonal design of the bottle cap of the perfume No. 5 as well as that of the Place Vendôme. Now reissued, this iconic model is unveiled in a version where the case and bracelet are adorned with 750 thousandths yellow gold to assert its position as a Première.

Elegance and timelessness are expressed on the wrist. The PREMIÈRE ÉDITION ORIGINALE watch harmoniously combines two mythical colors for the House of Chanel black and gold. The steel links are intertwined with a supple leather ribbon that makes the strap particularly comfortable to wear. The octagonal case coated in yellow gold emphasizes the depth of the black lacquered dial while the two thin golden hands definitely bring a minimalist dimension to this watch with clean lines. The Première collection is a lesson in style and refinement that still resonates in the watchmaking world.
