Cintree Curvex Sunset

Franck Muller Cintree Curvex Sunset 6850 SC Yellow Gold

The Franck Muller Cintrée Curvex Sunset Ref. 6850 SC is a bold expression of the brand’s signature aesthetic—combining curved tonneau architecture with artistic dial execution. It sits firmly in the category of design-driven haute horlogerie, where visual identity is just as important as mechanical content.

The watch features a 34 × 47 mm Cintrée Curvex case in 18K yellow gold, fully polished to enhance its sculptural curves. The case is ergonomically designed to follow the wrist, with integrated curved lugs that create a seamless flow into the strap—one of Franck Muller’s defining case constructions.

The highlight is the “Sunset” gradient dial, transitioning from vivid orange at the top to deep blue/black at the bottom, evoking the horizon at dusk. The dial is paired with oversized, stylized Arabic numerals—a hallmark of Franck Muller—arranged dynamically (not strictly radial), enhancing the artistic and slightly surreal feel. A central seconds hand sweeps across the dial, reinforcing the sense of motion and fluidity.

The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal and an exhibition caseback, allowing visibility of the movement. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters (3 ATM), suitable for light daily use.

Inside is the Franck Muller Calibre FM 2800, an automatic movement based on a refined Swiss architecture. It operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) with 21 jewels, delivering hours, minutes, and central seconds, along with a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. The movement features rhodium-plated bridges and a gold rotor, visible through the caseback.

The watch is paired with a black crocodile leather strap, secured by an 18K yellow gold ardillon buckle, completing the elegant yet expressive design.
