When Dior first released its Dior VIII Grand Bal “Resille” series, it wowed us with the openwork oscillating weight on the dial decorated with diamonds. Studded with precious gems, the oscillator is reminiscent of ballroom dancer pirouetting around the dial. Now, the Maison unveils a new version of this timepiece in white ceramic with striking pink sapphires that’s sure to steal the heart of the material girl.

Resille, which means fishnets in French, brings to mind elaborate fabrics favoured by Christian Dior in his famous designs. Limited to 88 pieces, this 33mm model runs on calibre “Dior Inversé 8 ¼” distinguished by a functional openworked white gold oscillating weight on the dial decorated with a latticework of pink sapphires. Its dial is made of white mother-of-pearl and accompanied by faceted hour and minute hands.

White high-tech ceramic and stainless steel form the case case, which is paired with a bezel adorned with a single row of matching pink sapphires, and a decorated mother of pearl ring. The movement can be seen through the sapphire crystal case back. Fitted with a white high-tech ceramic strap with pyramid-shaped links, this version is bound to turn even more heads.
