This Chronometro 2852D is a perfect artifact from that era, combining the iconic Cintrée Curvex case with a heavy, factory-set diamond configuration. Executed entirely in 18k white gold, this piece represents the intersection of high jewelry and serious watchmaking that made Muller a phenomenon. It is a pure expression of the confidence and creativity that cemented the brand's legacy.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Study In Factory Set Brilliance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis is a very early and exceptional example of the 2852 reference. The factory diamond work is extensive, covering the bezel, the sides of the case, and the initial links of the integrated white gold bracelet. This level of gem-setting, paired with a finely detailed silver guilloché dial and Arabic numerals, creates a powerful and cohesive aesthetic. It is a high-impact design that remains entirely balanced, showcasing the workshop's mastery over both case making and dial finishing. The presence of clear hallmarks on the caseback further grounds its provenance.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Excellent And Honest Example\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe watch is in very good condition. The 18k white gold case and bracelet retain their original form and weight, with the diamond settings secure and brilliant. The silver guilloché dial is clean, with a small area of patina noted at the bottom of the 7 o'clock numeral, an honest detail consistent with its age. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Independent Spirit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis watch is for the collector who understands the significance of early, independent Franck Muller. It is a statement piece that operates on a different level than the more conservative output of the established Geneva houses. The combination of the tonneau case, the elaborate diamond setting, and the classic dial artistry creates a look that is both opulent and horologically credible. It is a piece that captures the ambitious, unapologetic spirit of 1990s watchmaking.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2852D\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chronometro\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1990s\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31x43mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory Diamond Set\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K White Gold with Factory Diamond Set Links\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.25 Inch\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver Guilloché\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K White Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 142.7g\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1790\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Franck Muller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55671745511715,"sku":"11790","price":33500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF0724_d407fc96-5bd0-403f-a501-40c6d0bd17ac.jpg?v=1790631607","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/1990s-franck-muller-chronometro-2852d-automatic-18k-white-gold-silver-guilloche-diamond","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
