The Master Of Complications In 18K White Gold

The Casablanca collection is perhaps the most recognizable silhouette in the Franck Muller catalog, drawing heavy inspiration from the glamour and travel-ready aesthetics of the 1920s. While many Casablanca models were produced in steel, this reference 6850 is executed in solid 18k white gold, providing a substantial and luxurious weight that elevates the curved Cintrée Curvex case. It is a design that prioritizes ergonomics, with the entire case arching to follow the natural contour of the wrist. This model represents the era when Franck Muller was the most sought-after name in independent watchmaking, defining a new language for the modern tonneau shape.

A Study In Art Deco Proportions

The dial features the signature oversized explode numerals that have become a hallmark of the brand, offering a bold and highly legible face that feels both vintage and contemporary. Set against a matte black surface, the numerals and leaf-shaped hands create a high-contrast look that emphasizes the Art Deco influence. The 32x45mm proportions provide a significant presence without the bulk of a traditional sports watch, allowing the 18k white gold case to serve as a sophisticated frame for one of the most distinctive dial layouts of the 1990s.

Good Condition And Honest Authenticity

Condition: Good. The 18k white gold case remains in strong physical condition, retaining its signature curves and soft polished finish. The black dial is well-preserved, showing clear printing and no significant aging to the numerals or hands. The crystal shows some light signs of use consistent with its age. This example is numbered 24 in its series, marking it as an early production piece from a decade when the brand was at the forefront of the horological zeitgeist. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

The Ultimate Neo-Vintage Statement

The Casablanca 6850 in white gold is a watch for the collector who appreciates the "Master of Complications" era of watchmaking. It bridges the gap between a classic dress watch and a statement piece, offering a shape that is impossible to mistake for anything else. Its solid gold construction ensures it remains a serious piece of horology, while the playful dial and curved case keep it approachable and comfortable for daily wear. It remains a definitive example of how Franck Muller reshaped the landscape of watch design in the late twentieth century.

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
