A vintage Van Cleef & Arpels reference G1510 D31 in 18k yellow gold, crafted during the 1970s.

The dial shows beautiful graining of the tortoiseshell and is simply topped with gold-applied sword shaped hands. The tortoiseshell crown adds an exquisite touch to its overall warm elegance. Houses a Genta caliber automatic movement.
