Comes with box and Paul Picot warranty.

DESCRIPTION
Light as a medium
Saint-Tropez is Paul Picot's women's collection, and this example represents its most luminous interpretation: two materials that live on reflections — the natural mother-of-pearl of the dial and the nine diamonds marking the hours — mounted on a steel case with compact proportions and a soft profile.
Mother-of-pearl is not a colour, it is a surface: it changes hue with every movement of the wrist, passing from milky white to pink to pearlescent grey depending on the angle and the light. This is why this dial cannot truly be photographed, and must be seen.
This example is NOS — New Old Stock: it is not a used watch, but a piece that was never sold, remaining in the remaining stock of our jewellery store from the years when we were official Paul Picot retailers. The factory protective film is still present on the case back and the original price tag is still attached.

The diamonds
The nine natural diamonds set on the dial are not a generic ornament: their characteristics are listed on the Paul Picot certificate of authenticity included in the set.

Features
Clarity VVS — Very Very Small inclusions
Colour TW — Top Wesselton
Cut Faultless
Total weight 0.10 ct
Quantity 9 natural diamonds

What these values mean. VVS clarity identifies stones with inclusions so minute that they are extremely difficult to detect even at ten times magnification: it is the second highest level on the clarity scale. Top Wesselton colour corresponds to an excellent white, equivalent to grades G–H on the international scale — a full white, without perceptible traces of yellow, which on the light mother-of-pearl provides a clean and brilliant contrast.
These are above-average values for the category: for diamonds of this size used as hour markers, the vast majority of production uses lower clarity and colours, and rarely documents them.

Note: the characteristics listed above are those declared by the manufacturer on the certificate of authenticity that accompanies the watch.

The case
29 mm stainless steel case, with classic feminine proportions, a polished smooth bezel, rounded sides and a signed knurled crown. Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Water resistance to 50 metres.
Steel screw-down case back with the raised PP monogram and engraved technical specifications: Paul Picot · SWISS MADE · STAINLESS STEEL · SAPPHIRE · WATER RESISTANT 50M, with reference 2693 SL and number N° 0409.

The dial
White authentic mother-of-pearl dial, with applied Roman numerals at 12, 9 and 6 and nine natural diamonds set in the remaining hour positions. Date window at 3 o'clock, slim baton hands and SWISS MADE above 6.

The movement
Swiss-made quartz movement with date function: the choice consistent with the watch's purpose — precision, compact thickness and no maintenance other than the periodic replacement of the battery.

The bracelet
Original Paul Picot steel bracelet with polished links, with a signed Paul Picot deployant clasp.

Operating condition
NOS example, never worn and never sold, in like-new condition: case, bezel, crystal, dial and bracelet without any signs of wear.
