| extremely rare early FM Manual winding 18WG with Original 18K buckle and leather with box Excellent condition Few watches capture the elegance of early Franck Muller quite like the Ref. 1750, and this example elevates the model even further with its exceptionally refined factory-set baguette diamond bezel. Produced during the brand’s most celebrated period in the 1990s, the 1750 represents the original vision of Franck Muller—long before oversized cases and highly complicated models came to define the brand. Its perfectly balanced tonneau-shaped case, distinctive hand-drawn Arabic numerals, and engine-turned guilloché dial embody the romantic and artisanal spirit that established Franck Muller as one of the most desirable independent watchmakers of its era. This particular example is configured in the highly sought-after unisex size, offering remarkable versatility on the wrist. Elegant enough for formal occasions yet contemporary in proportion, it remains one of the most wearable executions of the Cintrée Curvex silhouette. The true highlight, however, is the bezel. Set with meticulously cut baguette diamonds following the graceful curvature of the case, it transforms the watch from a classic dress piece into a discreet jewel. Unlike modern gem-set watches that often feel ostentatious, this early execution retains a distinctly understated sophistication, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of Franck Muller’s formative years. Combined with its small seconds display, silver guilloché dial, and elegant proportions, this watch represents a period when Franck Muller was producing some of the most charming and characterful timepieces in modern horology. An increasingly elusive configuration, especially in the original unisex dimensions, this baguette-set Ref. 1750 stands as a beautiful reminder of why collectors continue to seek out the brand’s early creations. |
