With this special edition of the Turbine watch, Perrelet celebrates the Chinese year of the snake.
The under-dial of the Turbine model is a canvas upon which the Perrelet master artisans express their creativity by giving shape to a work paying tribute to the majestic beauty of the serpent. According to popular Chinese beliefs, snakes are said to bring good luck and to ward off misfortune.
The reptile is reproduced by hand. Crafted from Polynesian mother-of-pearl that defines its profile and the individual scales, it appears against a neutral white mother-of-pearl background. Its eye glows with the light radiating from a 0.025-carat ruby.
This motif is framed by a total-black DLC-coated steel 44 mm-diameter case, teamed with a black crocodile leather strap. The turbine is composed of 12 rapidly rotating black titanium blades alternately revealing the beauty of the serpent beneath.
The Turbine Snake is issued in a 99-piece numbered limited edition, equipped with the exclusive in-house P-331 double rotor movement.
