The Galet Square Walton Street Swiss FineTiming Limited Edition has a two-tone red gold-hued sector dial typical of the late 1930s with lugs designed for Swiss Finetiming. Furthermore, the design reflects an Art Deco feel consistent with the architecture of their Walton Street boutique.

According to the manufacturer, “To highlight the unique nature of this model, Laurent Ferrier designed distinctive lugs featuring a side decoration exclusively for Swiss FineTiming.”

Furthermore, this special edition has a sector dial with that is divided with an outer circle that has a circular satin-brushed finish and a central zone with a vertical satin-brushed finish lends the dial this two-tone effect.

The space is marked with an anthracite nickel and delicately accentuated raised chapter ring featuring curved markers paying a distinctive nod to the brand’s iconic drop-shaped hour-markers.
