Soaring Butterflies of the Lady Arpels Papillon Extraordinary Dials Watch by Van Cleef & Arpels

The gorgeous watches of the company Van Cleef & Arpels always impress by their original design performance. This year, the company has introduced a new Lady Arpels Papillon Extraordinary Dials collection. The watch dials from this line are decorated with the most colorful butterflies, a symbol of natural transformations.
The dial of the Papillon Rouge Gourmand model is made in white with bright colors reminiscent of summer. For the creating of the dial are selected several types of finishing: stained glass enamel (plique-à-jour). This transparent enamel has been placed in the "cage" of the upper wings of a butterfly with gold outline. With using the enamel cabochonné their curved paths acquired strawberries, pitted enamel technique is used to make the green leaves. Thanks to the talented artisans of the brand, we got an unusual dial, made in bright colors: on the one hand of the dial, on a white background are placed strawberries, and on the other - a butterfly sitting on a leaf. The original dial is inserted into the 38 mm round case made of white gold with diamonds. The red leather strap complements the novelty.

The Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Papillon Orange Solaire watch includes two butterflies flying in the golden light of the autumn sun. The sun is shown by the yellow pearl. The dial has been made in the paillonné and plique-à-jour techniques. The dial is inserted in a round case with diamonds. The orange leather strap, harmoniously combined with color of the butterflies, complements the model. The watch is equipped with the hand-wound mechanism.

Another model of Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Noir Argent from the Lady Arpels Papillon Extraordinary Dials collection is presented with the dial of gray pearl. It is interesting the design of this watch, which is a combination of black and white, the play of light and shadow. The dial, as well as the case of white gold, is decorated with diamonds. The final element of the design is a black leather strap.

The latest model in this collection - Van Cleef & Arpels Bleu Nuit Lady Arpels Papillon has a white dial with the image of a butterfly, fluttering in the moonlight, which gives it an unusual play of the wings. The novelty comes on a dark blue leather strap.
