De Bethune DB25L

De Bethune DB25L Moon Phase in Rose Gold

Up for grabs is a DeBethune DB25 L from the Heritage collection This is a 44mm cased model in 18k rose gold Launched in 2010, the DB25L marked the beginning of De Bethune’s classic watch collection, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. The round, drum-shaped case, featuring superimposed rings and slender, openworked lugs, showcases De Bethune’s technical and aesthetic expertise. The silver-toned, hand-guilloché dial enhances legibility with its radiating sectors and precise layout. The DB25L is equipped with advanced features like a self-regulating twin barrel, a triple pare-chute system, and a titanium/platinum balance-wheel. Its standout feature is the spherical moon-phase display at 12 o’clock, with an accuracy of one day in 122 years. The flame-blued steel hands add to its refined elegance, making the DB25L a poetic yet technically advanced timepiece. The dial is beautifully decorated with guilloche and blue Roman numerals. The 3D moon and blued steel hands add to the esthetics. The display caseback shows off the manual wind movement and also features an almost discreet up-down power reserve. There were only 86 examples ever made of DB25L in all variations. The watch comes on its original strap with original rose gold buckle. It is accompanied by De Bethune papers, which are stamped by AD but were never filled out, and the De Bethune box.
