Boucheron Carrée 18k Yellow Gold Unique Central Seconds Like New Condition with Box circa 1970’s

This Boucheron Carrée offers a distinctive take on Parisian luxury watchmaking. Cased in solid 18k yellow gold, it embodies the elegance and refinement one expects from the storied Place Vendôme maison. What sets this watch apart is not just its bold yet classic Carrée case (25 x 31 mm), but its highly unusual central seconds configuration—a detail that is almost certainly unique among manually wound Boucheron watches from the period.

The brushed gold dial plays with the light beautifully, revealing shifting tones and textures depending on the angle. Subtle painted markers and minimalist design language allow the proportions and goldwork to take center stage.

Inside ticks a manual wind movement modified by Boucheron, powering the rare central seconds hand. The watch comes complete with its original 18k yellow gold Boucheron-signed buckle and original presentation box.

Highlights

• Very rare central seconds configuration, likely unique

• Hand built watch from a top notch French jewellery maison

• Comes with original 18k gold buckle and original Boucheron box

• Like new, unpolished watch case featuring utmost sharp edges and gold hallmarks
