Frederique Constant Classics Business Timer

This is a Frederique Constant Classics Business Timer wristwatch, a Swiss-made timepiece known for its sophisticated complications. The watch features a round polished stainless steel case, approximately 40mm in diameter, with a smooth bezel and a signed crown at the 3 o'clock position. The dial is a multi-textured silvery-white, showcasing a central 'clous de Paris' guilloché pattern. It features printed Arabic numerals for the hours and a date ring on the inner perimeter indicated by a red-tipped central hand. A notable feature is the moon phase complication located at the 6 o'clock position, displayed with a gold moon and stars against a deep blue sky. The watch also includes a 52-week scale around the outer edge of the dial, typical of the Business Timer model. It is paired with a black crocodile-patterned leather strap with tonal stitching. The overall condition appears excellent with no visible scratches on the sapphire crystal or major scuffs on the polished case, suggesting contemporary production from the 21st century. The craftsmanship reflects the brand's 'Accessible Luxury' philosophy, utilizing a reliable quartz movement to maintain a slim profile and high functionality.
