The new edition is a study in exquisite discretion. Its cream-coloured dial, with a soft opaline finish, evokes the humility of its founders – a subtle nod to a third-place victory that would forever shape their destiny. This understated elegance is contrasted by a full 5N red gold case and bracelet, a symbol of the precious nature of their accomplishment and the courage to pursue dreams. Each hand and index is accented with white Super-LumiNova®, ensuring optimal legibility, while the snailed small-second dial at six o’clock adds a refined touch of functionality.
Streamlined elegance defines the Sport Auto 79. Inspired by the aerodynamics of racing cars, the 41.5 mm tonneau-shaped case features rounded curves and sinuous lines, complemented by an integrated 5N red gold bracelet. The case showcases a harmonious interplay of finishes, namely circular satin-brushed bezel, vertical satin-brushed case middle, and mirror-polished accents, which enhances both form and functionality. Even the iconic ball-shaped screw-down crown, essential for the automatic movement, reflects the thoughtful balance of design and usability. Water-resistant to 120 metres, this is a watch built for everyday adventure as much as for celebration.
