Description

Created in 1935, the Cadenas watch quickly became an emblem of Van Cleef & Arpels' watchmaking. This timepiece's sleek design is distinguished by its handle reminiscent of a padlock. Around it, the clasp of a double snake chain slides fluidly, following the curve of the wrist with flexibility. In this way, the creation can be worn as a bracelet, its angled dial allowing the time to be read discreetly. In keeping with the original aesthetic of this model, which has marked the Maison's history, Van Cleef & Arpels is introducing a new precious creation. This piece combines a yellow gold bracelet with a case paved in snow-set diamonds and enhanced by a row of princess-cut sapphires.
