Royale Paris Watch 9007143

The Watch

Founded in 1973, Pequignet represents the pinnacle of French elegance and haute horlogerie. The brand immediately carved out its place in the high-end segment, delivering exceptional quality and reliability. Its lineup includes classic, refined, and simply irresistible pieces - including this stunning timepiece, the Royale Paris 9007143. This watch features a round case crafted in stainless steel with a delicate polished finish across the entire surface, except for the middle band which is both polished and satin-brushed. It measures 41 mm in diameter and 11.40 mm thick, and is fitted with a sapphire crystal offering excellent protection against scratches and impacts. The crown, positioned at 3 o'clock, allows you to set the hours and minutes at any time. It is grooved and embossed with the brand's fleur-de-lis logo. The case back secured by four screws features a sapphire crystal display, offering a view of the movement and contributing to the watch's water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

This double-circle dial will captivate watch collectors and enthusiasts alike, as well as anyone with a taste for refined elegance. Its clean, classic design ensures effortless legibility while expressing the personality of whoever wears this timepiece. The anthracite gray background hosts matching gray hour markers in perfect harmony. Bearing the inscription "Made in France", the matte outer ring is framed by a minute track and baton indices. The two alpha hands at the sandblasted center are crafted in polished stainless steel to indicate hours and minutes. A small seconds counter sits at 4 o'clock, while a power reserve indicator is positioned at 8 o'clock. Finally, the iconic fleur-de-lis and the brand name appear just below 12, serving as a signature.

The Movement

This watch is powered by an automatic movement manufactured in-house by Pequignet. The Royal caliber is a hallmark of French haute horlogerie craftsmanship. It features beautifully decorated bridges and mainplate with perlage, Côtes de Genève finishing, and a sunray-brushed rhodium-plated rotor bearing the Royal Lily. It beats at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz), features 39 jewels, and delivers a power reserve of 88 hours.

The Strap

This model features a stunning black alligator leather strap with gray stitching, secured by a pin buckle. Designed for wrists measuring between 15.50 and 19.50 cm, it delivers the perfect finishing touch to any look.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters - making it a truly water-resistant watch. Ready to dive into aquatic adventures with you, it handles everything from puddles to the pool without complaint. Showers, baths, and lap swimming are no problem. That said, our Ocarat watch experts note that while this model is water-resistant, it is not suitable for diving (professional or otherwise) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend not operating the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged.
