Franck Muller Cintrée Curvex Master Calendar 2852 MC

This is a Franck Muller Cintrée Curvex luxury wristwatch featuring the brand's iconic tonneau-shaped (barrel) stainless steel case. The dial is black with oversized, luminous Art Deco-style Arabic numerals and a distinctive sunburst guilloché pattern. It displays a Master Calendar complication, including a date window at the 6 o'clock position and what appears to be day/month indicators centrally located. Notable features include the leaf-shaped luminous hands and a red-tipped pointer hand. The watch is fitted with a black alligator or crocodile leather strap that shows signs of moderate wear and creasing. The case exhibits visible surface scratches and some dullness to the metal finish, indicating frequent use without recent polishing. The 'Franck Muller Geneve' branding is clearly printed on the dial. This model likely dates from the late 1990s to early 2000s, a period when these bold silhouettes gained significant popularity. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the complex case geometry and detailed dial finishing, though the current condition shows significant patina and wear consistent with its age.
