You’ve seen before that featuring a Backes & Strauss watch requires a deep breath before looking at the price!
But before we get to that point let’s have a look at the specs of the ‘Piccadilly Princess’.
Crafted in 18kt white or rose gold with a classic dial surrounded by a total of 165 ideal cut diamonds, weighing in at a more than generous 22.61 carats (you can see where this going, right?).
The Princess is also available with a Diamond Dial where ideal cut diamonds surround or are surrounded by white Mother of Pearl.
And that price?
Piccadilly Princess will be retailing at £144,600.00 for the Classic Dial model, £148,000.00 for the Diamond Dial Int A model and £151,200.00 for the Diamond Dial Ext R.
