Specialist note
A true innovation, the Frank Muller Vegas collection quickly became one of the most playful and collectible timepiece of the manufacture. With the classical case shape and aesthetic of Franck Muller, the Vegas collection provides its wearer with a unique and original watch, representing precision through its movement as well as the notion of the uncontrollable and chance through the Vegas function. In order for the roulette to operate on the timepiece, an ingenuous and complex module was developed by the Franck Muller manufacture and later patented in order to ensure its exclusivity. Always in control, the wearer will have the possibility to action the roulette function through the crown, initiating the mechanism by pressing on a pusher and immediately stopping it once released.
In excellent overall condition, the timepiece is offered with its product literature, as well as certificate of authenticity and presentation box. A truly interesting timepiece of the Franck Muller manufacture, the wristwatch can be considered as one of the best and most complete examples of the reference ever offered at auction.
