28SB8 SAPPHIRE

A refined expression of timeless elegance and exceptional mechanical artistry, the Voutilainen 28SB8 harmoniously combines the art of gem-setting with the workshop’s enduring commitment to precision and classical watchmaking. From the intricately hand-guilloché dial with sapphire indexes to the 39 mm white gold case set with baguette-cut sapphires and the iconic calibre 28, the 28SB8 stands as a tribute to horological mastery and aesthetic refinement.

 

 

The bezel is adorned with 36 deep blue baguette-cut sapphires of loupe-clean quality in a refined closed setting. The middle case and horns are adorned respectively with 63 and 36 sapphires using a sophisticated invisible setting, enhancing their natural brilliance. A single blue sapphire crowns the piece, while the white gold buckle is also set with baguette-cut sapphires.
