Crafted in Switzerland, this versatile Baume et Mercier Riviera 8597 watch sports a dodecagonal case, one of its series signature. It is chic and sizable, with a sturdy case that has a diameter of 28.0 mm and approximately 8 mm thick only. Its seductive silver dial that is encased by the diamonds adorned bezel is protected with an anti-glare treated scratch resistant sapphire crystal for an improved visibility. While its whole construction is 50 m water resistant for practical sake.
Not only a stylish wrist accessory, this luxury watch is a reliable timekeeper, too. Offering first rate accuracy, it is fitted with a BM personalized calibre Swiss ETA battery powered quartz movement that provides three hands and a date display at six o’clock position. Its Silver dial is charming yet easy to read, featuring silver tone hands with Roman markers at 12, 3, and 9, alternates with diamonds hour markers. In addition, there are Black printed minute markers around the outer rim for easy reference.
Favorably, for a women’s Swiss luxury watch with all of its offerings, this beauty is not an overpriced one. The suggested retail price of this Baume & Mercier 8597 is $4,690.00, however, lately, this Riviera timepiece goes for less than 3K at most of online merchants.
