Franck Muller Early Reference 2801 S6 18K Rose Gold

Founded in 1992 by Franck Muller and Vartan Sirmakes, the self-proclaimed “Master of Complications” earned its reputation through complex microengineering and daring, unconventional aesthetics. While modern Franck Muller timepieces are instantly recognizable by their bold tonneau-shaped cases and vibrant dials, the brand’s early output leaned into more classic horological traditions.

A prime example is this rare reference 2801 from “The Complications” collection. Housed in an understated 35mm rose gold case, it features a refined silver-cream dial that exudes timeless elegance. Its overall aesthetic remains understated, anchored by traditional leaf-shaped (feuille) hour and minute hands and a sub-seconds hand at 6 oclock.

Limited to just 50 pieces worldwide, the reference 2801 serves as a fascinating bridge between the brand’s classic beginnings and its bold contemporary identity. Come with light yellow color strap and match 18K buckle
