With 16 brilliant cut diamonds, this Dunhill Facet watch really sparkles in every way. Model reference DQ1999Z
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
Dunhill launched the Facet range in 1999 at SIHH in Geneva. In 2005 the logo changed to A. Dunhill, so this watch much have been made between these dates, but the few similar watches we can find with papers all seem to be sold in 1999 or 2000. These are made in small production runs, certainly when compared to Omega and Rolex, so information is always a little harder to obtain.
CONDITION
The name Facet actually refers to the shaped sapphire crystal, but when combined with diamonds the name is even more fitting. Nothing with the Dunhill name was ever made on the cheap, (the cheapest leather belts on their website is currently £205!) and this watch is a fine example of that philosophy in action. The bracelet is solid steel, and complete with all 22 links. Many of these are screw in links to be removed to fit the wrist correctly. The full length bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath. The movement is a set and forget ETA 5 jewel quartz. We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner. The diamonds seem quite large on the small watch head, and to our untrained eye they seem to be very good clarity. The dial and hands are perfect, and the case only has small marks consistent with being worn carefully.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
