Lady Arpels 'Pont des Amoureux' (Reference 3480170). A white gold and diamond-set manual wind wristwatch with retrograde hours and minutes and enamel dial. Circa 2017

Born from a maison whose very origins are entwined with love, Van Cleef & Arpels infuses its poetic complication with a sense of tender narrative, transforming the passage of time into an intimate encounter. Rather than relying on traditional indications, the watch reveals the hours and minutes through the graceful choreography of two lovers, their movements shaped by emotion, destiny, and mechanical artistry. By moonlight, upon a Parisian bridge overlooking the Seine, the figures advance toward one another in retrograde motion. She, sheltered beneath her umbrella, marks the hours, while he, approaching with quiet resolve, counts the minutes. Their paths converge with gentle anticipation, and at noon and midnight, they meet to share a kiss, a fleeting yet eternal moment that places every instant under the sign of love.

The watch is in very good overall condition with minor surface wear, all diamonds are nice and intact.
