Hands-on with the Laurent Ferrier Galet Micro-Rotor enamel dial limited edition
Containing one of the finest finished automatic movements today, the Laurent Ferrier Galet Micro-Rotor was recently made as a limited edition with a white grand feu enamel dial and platinum case.
Instead of a lacquered and plated brass dial as found on the regular edition of the Galet Micro-Rotor, this limited edition has a bright, white enamel dial with pale blue accents. Not initially obvious but perfectly complementary up close: the railway minute track as well as the seconds sub-dial are in powder blue. These are matched with white gold assegai hands.
The 40 mm case is platinum with the limited edition engraving on the rim of the case back. This also differs from the regular edition in that the case back is secured by screws, while the regular gold models have snap backs.
The movement is of course highly decorated.
Exclusive to Singapore retailer The Hour Glass, this limited edition of 18 retails for S$131,000 with 7% tax, which is equivalent to about US$105,400. Remember to check out my photos of the Galet Micro-Rotor for more detail of the beautiful calibre. – SJX
