2024 Jacob and Co Lapis Lazuli Dial Palatial Classic PC400.10.AA.AD.A10AA

     This is one of the rarest watches to come through HLT.  The 2024 Palatial Classic has a rare stone dial that is one of a kind and is a unique piece of lapis lazuli.  Since this is a very limited piece, each lapis dial is extraordinarily distinctive.  But.....we have added something very special.  We have acquired a very limited Lapis Lazuli coin/ball marker that matches the watch perfectly.  This coin/ball marker is set on a Tungsten base, Lapis Lazuli stone center, and 6 full-cut diamonds.-  .18ctw VS2  along with 14kt yellow gold bezels holding the diamonds.  It is handmade by Doubloon.  A unique case is included, and it retails for around $1000

     We have added a few other exciting additions to the set of this incredible timepiece.  I have acquired a locking Global and Grand blue JCO box, (Original small box is not included.)  In addition, there is a JCO blue travel case as well.  Also included in the box is an OEM light blue JCO strap and a non-OEM navy blue alligator strap with an OEM clasp.  A new blue JCO Jewelry pouch as well as 2 extra links to the bracelet at a cost of $250 each are also included.  The bracelet will fit up to an 8.5-inch wrist now.

    " Palatial Big Date is the one Jacob & Co. collection that pays a clear tribute to watchmaking classics. The elegant 42-mm case is elevated by its lug design, curved and gracious, which turns Palatial Big Date into an everyday-wear timepiece. The choice of a slim case of contained dimensions goes hand in hand with a sense of symmetry: the large date balances the power reserve indicator at 6 o'clock. Palatial Big Date is further elevated by a wide selection of dials, chosen among the most lavish and refined materials made available by nature: hard stones. Blue Lapis Lazuli, green Malachite, and black Onyx offer their unique patterns and sheen to the polished allure of this collection.

     Caliber JCAM52 is in a class of its own in the Jacob & Co. catalog. The large date and power reserve indication are sitting on top of a finely executed movement, chosen for its reliability. Developed in a hand-wound version, it does away with self-winding in order to shave off a precious few millimeters. This slimness is reflected in the overall design of Palatial Classic Big Date. Under the sapphire glass, the hard stone dials of Palatial Classic Big Date are a delicate ornament. Selection of the Malachite, Onyx, and Lapis Lazuli blocks only retains the very best ones, with the most intense colors and zero defects. Cutting them into slabs of extreme thinness and piercing them to receive the dial's hour markers and complication fixtures requires a special and rare know-how.

     Caliber JCAM52 offers a classic combination of complications, aiming at being both symmetrical and effectively useful daily. Readability, availability, and thoroughness of information are the very basics of watchmaking, the same ones that have inspired Palatial Classic Big Date.

A hand-wound movement requires a little upkeep: it has to be wound before its power reserve is fully exhausted. The power reserve indicator is a precious instrument when it comes to wearing such a timepiece as the Palatial Classic Big Date. Once the hand gets too close to zero, it's time to wind the crown and fill the proverbial tank."
