DESIGN & FINISHES: - An emblematic cushion shape neither round, square nor rectangular. - The gadroons - a signature of this iconic watch since 1972 – endowing it with a singular and assertive look. It is reinforced by the alternation of mat and polished gold surfaces. - The dauphine hands as a new Andy Warhol identity. - The case is cast in 18K yellow gold, a metal chosen in homage to Warhol’s 1973 own watch, and that is otherwise unavailable in the contemporary Andy Warhol Watch collection. STORY BEHIND THE DIAL: The Andy Warhol Watch ‘Collage’ Limited Edition features a dial decorated with a marqueterie of colourful ornamental gemstones arranged into an abstract form that echoes one of Warhol’s most celebrated polaroid collage self-portraits, taken in 1986. The dial motif of the Andy Warhol Watch ‘Collage’ Limited Edition comes from the careful application of four ornemental stones, shaped, cut and arranged using the ancient Métier d’Art of marquetry. The base is in black onyx, same colour as per Andy Warhol’s own watch of 1973. Complementing this are thin slices of ornamental stones: yellow Namibian serpentine, pink opal and green chrysoprase.
