The vintage watch manufacturer Van Cleef & Arpels has recently introduced some exceptional novelties for the new year. Those new watches are more complex in artistry than in horology. Each of them highlights an artistic dial design, symboling an original story, a true emotion, a sincere compliment and a big love in nature. Among them, the brightest and most exquisite is definitely the Lady Arpels Extraordinary Butterfly series.

There are five watches in the Lady Arpels Extraordinary Butterfly series, each of which presents a work of art. Combining enamel technique with mother of pearl setting and gold engraving, the butterfly watches has for the first time applied the “stained-glass” enamelling technique by master enameller Dominique Baron, in order to simulate and depict the movements of butterflies on a 3D dial. As you can see in the images, the dial creations are really amazing.

The case style follows the design which was created by Pierre Arpels for the well-known PA 49 timepiece in 1949. The watch case in white gold is decorated with round diamonds, measuring 38mm in diameter. On the case side is the engraving of brand name Van Cleef & Arpels. On the case back, we can find some excellent carvings. The two-hand watch is completed with a crocodile leather watch strap, coupled with a white gold watch buckle inlaid with shining diamonds. Inside the watch is a Caliber 830P automatic mechanical movements, ensuring high precision and reliability.

The five watches of the Lady Arpels Extraordinary Butterfly Series are named as Parvana, Vanessa, Euthalie, Kimama and Caligo, representing the inspiring butterflies from various cultures. Each design of the collection is limited to 8 piece available. Prices are not sure but will definitely not be set at a low level.
