With a Harry Winston international guarantee and presentation box. 

Since the foওunding of the brand in New York in 1932, Harry Winston has never ceased to surprise the wo🍰rld every step of the way. With the persistent drive in perfection and creation, it is now not only perceived as the ultimate haute joaillerie designer brand, but also widely acclaimed as an eminent watch manufacturer.

Inspired by the richness of nature, the Premier Precious Marquetry features a sophisticated dial that continuously enchants the eye. True to Harry Winston’s heritage, this incredible masterpiece is set with a ravishing array of finest gem. Different kinds of mother-of-pearl, cabochon sapphires, and diamonds were used and set at various levels to create an architectural composition, exemplifying the ꦗthree-dimension visual of the dial. The whimsical design also reveals kaleidoscope of colour, staging a lively array of flora and fauna - from the coloured wings of butterflies to the celestial glow of the soft pastel palettes. Premier Precious Marquetry as a perfect combination of haute joaillerie and horlogerie, can doubtlessly be regarded as a splendid demonstration of technical marvel of Harry Winston.
