Delicate, poetic, and unmistakably Van Cleef, this Alhambra watch from the 1990s distills the Maison’s jewelry savoir-faire into a timepiece that feels more like a charm than a chronometer. The iconic Alhambra quatrefoil, first introduced in 1968 as a symbol of luck, love, health, and fortune, forms the watch's case, bordered by a frame of hand-polished gold beads, a signature design element known as “perlée.”
In keeping with Van Cleef’s tradition of sensory luxury, the bracelet is composed of silk delicately wrapped over leather. Its appeal lies in the softness of couture, a reminder that for Van Cleef & Arpels, timekeeping has always belonged to the realm of feeling as much as function.
This piece arrives with all original paperwork and its box, preserving provenance and the full experience of Van Cleef & Arpels at its most refined. The 1990s marked a quieter, more intimate chapter in the Maison’s design evolution. An early expression of what would become one of the most recognizable motifs in modern jewelry, this Alhambra remains untouched by repetition—an original that has never blended into the crowd.
