DESCRIPTION

Fortis Grenchen Rolf Sachs Limited Edition

Fortis, founded in 1912 in Grenchen, Switzerland, is renowned for its pioneering role in tool watches, particularly in aviation and space exploration. The brand has long been associated with innovation and practicality, creating durable timepieces built to withstand extreme environments.

The Fortis Grenchen Ref. 595.11.46.3 is a rare limited edition collaboration with acclaimed artist Rolf Sachs, who infused the watch with a bold artistic touch. Its most distinctive feature is the frost crystal, which reacts to moisture by momentarily clearing to reveal the dial in full before returning to its frosted effect. Combined with Sachs’ striking dial design, this model embodies creativity and technical ingenuity. Limited to just 999 pieces, it stands as a unique collector’s piece that merges art with Swiss watchmaking heritage.

Key Details To Consider

The watch remains in outstanding shape, showing virtually no wear. The bracelet was only sized to the wrist, though the original owner confirmed it was never actually worn.

A standout feature of this model is its unique frost crystal, which reacts to moisture or water by temporarily clearing to reveal the dial fully before returning to its frosted effect. This unusual characteristic adds a fascinating layer of interaction to the piece.

The dial, designed by renowned artist Rolf Sachs, gives the watch a distinctive and artistic identity that sets it apart from conventional timepieces.

Limited and individually numbered to just 999 pieces, this reference is highly sought after and rarely surfaces on the market, making it an exceptional opportunity for collectors.
