Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantième Cotes De Geneve Brown J007030246

A cornerstone of the Jaquet Droz brand, the Grande Seconde series makes clever use of negative space to create stunning pieces that have an aesthetic all of their own.

This particular version of the Grande Seconde is known as the Quantième, and features a pointer date and running seconds hand in the lower portion of the dial, with time on the upper portion, all against a gorgeous chocolate dial with vertical Côtes de Genève pattern. It’s housed in a 43mm steel case, and is powered by a self-winding Jaquet Droz 2660Q2.4 movement with approximately 68 hour power reserve from its double barrels, and silicone balance spring and pallet horns, making for a thoroughly modern movement despite it’s classical looks.

This particular example was purchased locally in December 2024 and presents in TZ ‘Near-Mint’ condition. The case shows light signs of use in the form of some minor hairlines and very light swirlies on the polished surfaces. Lugs show some strap change marks on their inner edges. Please see images for full condition details.

Strap remains in near-new condition, and the steel deployant shows only minor desk diving marks.

No service history, but much too new for that. Keeping COSC time and remains under the balance of manufacturers warranty.

Includes outer box, inner box, warranty card dated December 2024, hang tag, document holder and instruction booklet.

RRP was $14,200 – save big on this near-new example with lots of warranty remaining.
