This particular piece does not need an exhibition case back. There is a significant case/movement mismatch that deters from the aesthetics of the piece. Best left with solid case back. Otherwise, horological perfection.

Looks good. May I know your wrist size please?

Absolutely gorgeous!!

How easy is it to open the case back?

[@TheKeystone]

It is not too difficult, but we do recommend you have it done by a specialist or someone who has handled these type of watches before.

Ah I see, I thought the lip on the case back allowed it to be opened easily. Shame no case sapphire caseback 😢

Doesn’t need music or voice. Absolute beauty. Those lugs are so fluid and classy...so difficult to find another dress watch with this perfection of design, one of the best cases in history.
