Simplicity 37mm Platinum, Guilloché Dial (No. 57) — simplicity-37-platinum-no-57

$830,000

The Simplicity is Dufour's statement that a time-only watch can be the ultimate showcase of hand finishing — black-polished steel, impossibly sharp inward anglage, and Geneva stripes applied entirely by hand across a roughly 200-piece run begun in 2000. This 2004 example, movement No. 57, pairs a 37mm platinum case with the coveted hand-guilloché dial. Sold for CHF 756,000 (about USD 830,000) at Phillips' Geneva Watch Auction: XIV in November 2021. Market-priced at auction — the figure shown reflects recent auction results.
