CORUM, PLATINUM HERITAGE WRISTWATCH, REF. 73.145.70

This classically good looking platinum watch is the perfect size for everyday wear with a case diameter of 35 mm. The styling takes its inspiration from 1950s and 60s heritage models and features an ivory-coloured dial and Dauphine hands. The power reserve function tells the wearer the state of the winding at any given time.

Acknowledged both for the aesthetic appeal of its models and for its technical excellence, CORUM has been at the forefront of fine watchmaking since the 1950s.

Platinum
In the 18th century, platinum's rarity made King Louis XV of France declare it the only metal fit for a king!. Pure platinum is a lustrous silver-white metal of which only a few hundred tonnes are produced annually, and given its important uses, it is highly valuable.

The first European reference to platinum appears in 1557 in the writings of the Italian humanist Julius Caesar Scaliger as a description of an unknown noble metal found between Darién and Mexico, "which no fire nor any Spanish artifice has yet been able to liquefy".

Watchmakers appreciate the unique properties of platinum, as it neither tarnishes nor wears out.
