Riviera Automatic Watch, Date display 10785

As the Year of the Snake rings in, Baume & Mercier presents the new Riviera Chinese New Year - Snake Editiom. The watch's Roman numerals, hands and hour-markers are gilded, a color embodying nobility, glory and wealth. The delicate gilded serpentine seconds hand and the gilded snake on the caseback are all evocative of the wishes for happiness that the Chinese venerate and express to their loved ones at the start of each year.
