VAN CLEEF & ARPELS Sweet Alhambra
Watch. Created in 1968, the Alhambra
motif joined the watch collection thirty
years later. Since then, the four-leaf clover–
shaped timepieces have been constantly
reimagined to keep bringing good luck to
the world. Rooted in the Sweet Alhambra
aesthetic, this new quartz watch features
a sunburst guilloché gold dial at the centre
of a gold case framed with golden beads.
A creation crafted entirely in yellow gold,
presented on a glossy VCA blue alligator
strap.
