To honour its two-decade-long friendship with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Longines unveiled a special watch inspired by the DolceVita collection recently.
The Elegance Celebration Limited Edition was showcased at a spectacular event at the Villa Aurelia in Rome in November. Crafted out of rose-gold, diamonds and white mother-of-pearl, this special watch has a rectangular case inspired by the 1920s.
Personifying the “sweetness and Italian way of life”, the watch features a turquoise dial decorated with a motif representing the Indian mandala engraved on the mother of pearl dial with diamond indexes. The rose-gold case with its 68-diamond]-studded bezel adds to the overall luxurious feel and elegance of the timepiece befitting the Indian beauty.
Strapped to a turquoise leather strap, the Elegance Celebration Limited Edition is an exclusive five-piece numbered limited edition. While watch number 1 is kept at the brand's Museum in St-Imier in Switzerland, the watch number 5 of this special edition was presented to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan by Walter von Känel, president of Longines during the event.
