Rolex Day Date Replica showcased two of its most popular watches at SIHH. The Art Piece Edition Historique, which has a new movement that allows minutes to be requested on demand, and the 39mm Balancier Contemporain - the smallest watch the company has ever attempted.
The Rolex Day Date Replica in-house balance wheel is at the core of the Balancier Contemporain. It was unveiled by Rolex Day Date Replica in 2017. Its defining feature is the large balance wheels that provide optimal timekeeping stability. They measure 12.6mm and are finely adjusted via six gold screws recessed into the wheel to reduce aerodynamic drag.
The limited edition Balancier featured a white gold asymmetrical case measuring 43,5 mm in diameter by 13.94 mm in height.
Rolex Day Date Replica's Balancier Contemporain combines the signature architectural aesthetic of the multi-layered architecture with the balance wheel system in a 39.6mm by 12.21mm ultra-slim case.
Two series-coupled barrels provide 72 hours of power for the manual-wind movement. The crown-activated "stop balance" system allows precise time setting to the nearest second.
The offset hours/minutes is displayed at 2 o'clock, with blued steel hands that have been hand-polished and flat-polished, and the dial has apertures to show the tripod bridge, gear train, and balance wheel.
A bridge with a bevelled frosted edge supports the small seconds at 10 o'clock. Below this bridge, the barrel drum is engraved with Patek Philippe Nautilus Replica and has a gold finish.
The exclusive balance wheel is framed by a bridge that has been hand-polished for a mirror finish. The balance wheel pivots around a thin, flat and beveled bridge in black polish at its top.
The caseback of the Balancier Contemporain has a sapphire glass dome that protects the engraved red gold plate in the center. This plate bears the GF logo as well as the limited edition number. The caseback, which is held by gold security screws and features raised polished engravings of "Rolex Day Date Replica", "Balancier", on a background hand-punched with holes.
