Frederique Constant Classics Carree Heart Beat Automatic Watch Appraisal

Frédérique Constant Classics Carrée Heart Beat Automatic Watch

This is a luxury Men's Frédérique Constant wristwatch, model reference FC-310/315X5C24/5/6, featuring a distinctive rectangular (Carrée) stainless steel case with a high-polish finish. The dial is a silver-toned sunray finish with a central guilloché textured pattern, bordered by prominent black Roman numeral hour markers in a radial arrangement. A signature 'Heart Beat' aperture is located at the 12 o'clock position, exposing the balance wheel of the automatic movement and showcasing a visible ruby jewel. The watch is fitted with spade-style black hands and a matching black seconds hand. It is mounted on a brown alligator-pattern leather strap with white contrast stitching. The dial is marked 'FREDERIQUE CONSTANT GENEVE' and 'SWISS MADE' at the bottom. The condition appears well-maintained with minor superficial scuffing visible on the polished bezel, consistent with gentle use. The crystal appears clear without significant scratching. The style is Neo-Classical, typical of the brand's production from the early-to-mid 2010s, emphasizing traditional Swiss watchmaking aesthetics through its tank-style geometry and exposed mechanical elements.
