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.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Study In Art Deco Proportions\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eGood Condition And Honest Authenticity\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eCondition: 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe Ultimate Neo-Vintage Statement\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe Casablanca 6850 in white gold is a watch for the collector who appreciates the \"Master of Complications\" era of watchmaking.

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.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eReference: 6850\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eModel: Casablanca\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eEra: 1990s\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMovement: Automatic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eCase Size: 32x45mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBezel: 18K WG Integrated\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eStrap: Alligator\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDial: Black\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMetal: 18K White Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSKU: 830\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Franck Muller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55072633487651,"sku":"10830","price":9000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF7889_3493735.jpg?v=1778527823","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/franck-muller-casablanca-18k-white-gold-black-dial","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
