Description from the seller
In the auction we present a piece of great prestige and charm: a Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date in the highly sought emerald green color. A timepiece that combines high-end sport watchmaking with a hypnotic naturalistic design.
This watch is Montblanc's first professional diver certified (ISO 6425), but it is famous mainly for its revolutionary dial. The manufacture has managed to recreate the three-dimensional texture, the veining and the depth of glacial ice (inspired by Mer de Glace on Mont Blanc) through a complex ancient artisanal technique called gratté-boisé. The deep emerald green color captures the light, evoking the reflections of alpine lakes surrounded by glaciers.
The technical setup is impeccable. The 41 mm stainless steel case is topped by a glossy, scratch-resistant, unidirectional green ceramic bezel in a two-tone shade. The watch is water resistant to 30 ATM (300 meters) and the solid case back boasts a magnificent 3D laser-engraved scene of a diver and an iceberg. Indices and hands are generously filled with Super-LumiNova for perfect legibility in the dark, as documented in the photographs. The heart is the automatic MB Caliber 24.17 movement.
The condition is to be considered in excellent overall condition. The watch has been preserved with extreme care. The sapphire crystal and the ceramic bezel insert are immaculate, free of any marks. The stainless steel case is bright and robust. On the bracelet and, in particular, on the deployant clasp, there are only extremely rare, negligible, almost imperceptible micro-scratches (hairlines) due to careful handling of the piece, which do not affect its beauty. The engraved case back is also perfectly clear.
