Baume & Mercier 38232 – Candy Case | White Gold | Mechanical
This Baume & Mercier Ref. 38232 is unmistakably a masterpiece.
Crafted in 18k white gold, its sculptural twisted « candy » case frames a deep black dial with remarkable restraint, letting the purity of its lines speak for themselves.
Sold in Brussels on April 20th, 1976, and preserved as a full set with its original guarantee, presentation box, original signed buckle, and even its original outer box, it is a wonderful survivor from an era when discreet luxury reigned supreme.
Beneath its elegant exterior beats a hand-wound mechanical movement, a daily ritual that connects its owner to traditional Swiss watchmaking. The case alone contains 12 grams of solid 18k white gold, giving this refined dress watch a reassuring presence despite its delicate proportions.
Details such as the sapphire cabochon crown, the sculptural lugs, and the monochromatic black-and-white contrast elevate the design beyond a simple ladies’ watch. It is a true piece of 1970s jewelry watchmaking, where form and function coexist effortlessly.
Nearly fifty years after leaving the jeweller Lascar L. & G., Galerie Louise in Brussels, this Baume & Mercier remains exactly what it was intended to be: timeless, elegant, and wonderfully understated.
