Story & Heritage Founded in 1980, Hublot disrupted the traditional Swiss watch industry by introducing the first luxury watch to combine precious metal with a rubber strap—an idea considered radical at the time. Under the leadership of Carlo Crocco, the MDM Genève models became the foundation of the brand’s identity. This piece belongs to that pioneering era, where design innovation met Swiss craftsmanship. The fusion of gold, steel, and rubber was not just aesthetic—it redefined what luxury could be. Today, these early Hublot models are increasingly appreciated for their historical importance and distinctive character. A true collector’s piece that captures the origin of Hublot’s design revolution—elegant, unconventional, and unmistakably iconic. The watch will be carefully packaged and shipped insured.
