Not only sleek and stylish, this two-tone wrist flattering watch that looks even more fabulous on person also sports a precise Swiss quartz movement to keep you stay on time. And favorably, this practical accessory goes at a sensible price point.


Crafted with care in Switzerland, the ladies’ Baume & Mercier 8718 watch boasts a sturdy Swiss construction, featuring the brand’s Riviera signature dodecagonal shaped case, along with a matching two-tone three-rows link bracelet that is made of a fine combination of 18K gold and stainless steel. Its case is compact and slim, with around 22 mm diameters and less than 6 mm thick, and is topped with a brushed 18K yellow-gold fixed bezel. Its gold made crown is decorated with PHI, while the solid stainless steel caseback has several engraved markings including the brand’s signature. Furthermore, the whole case is 50 m water resistant for practical sake, while its eye-catching two-tone bracelet comes equipped with a deployment buckle clasp for convenient fitting.

The timepiece’s bright mother of pearl dial is shielded by an anti-reflective coated sapphire crystal that protecting it against scratches, while also delivering an enhanced clarity. For a lovely dose of elegance, the dial is set with 11 luxurious diamonds markers, and there are also an appealing golden hands, and the brand’s PHI signature at the twelve o’clock. It is simple yet simply astonishing, and also offers a nice degree of legibility. And speaking of the engine inside, to be exact, this timepiece employs an ETA 901.001 quartz that is highly accurate and fairly rugged.

Anyway, this Swiss quartz battery powered luxury watch is enlisted at its manufacturer’s catalog under reference number of MOA08718. Back then, its original MSRP is $3,490.00, but, you can expect that its current selling prices are lower than its original price --which should be less than $2K. Last but not least, just saying, among its variants, there is one that is visually similar to this two-tone model, but loaded with more of diamonds for extra "bling" look.
