The collection Moby Dick raconté par Van Cleef & Arpels pays tribute to Herman Melville’s novel, a classic in literature, inspired by travel and oceans. This creation reflects the sea, a theme dear to Van Cleef & Arpels. The dial comes to life with powerful waves in plique-à-jour and champlevé enamel. The golden ship with diamond-paved sails creates volume and an impressive perception of reality. The background in miniature painting anchors the scene in a stormy weather in broad daylight. This 42mm case encloses preciousness, art and elegance thanks to the diverse Métiers d'Art that contributed to this unique piece.
