Frederique Constant celebrates its 37th anniversary with The Elements Collection: 5 limited-editions featuring rare mineral dials. Full details, price
Frederique Constant is marking its 37th anniversary with a limited edition of 37 gift sets, each containing five Manufacture pieces. The selection reflects the brand’s most accomplished work and is intended for collectors who closely follow the evolution of the Geneva-based manufacture.
The theme chosen for the anniversary is minerals. Lapis lazuli, turquoise, heliotrope and onyx take centre stage, accompanied by a Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon with a burgundy openworked dial that reveals the movement beneath. Each mineral dial is cut by hand from natural stone, giving every set subtle variations that make it truly individual.
Together, the five watches form The Elements Collection, a series that will be offered to collectors in the final quarter of 2025. All five models feature in-house complications, including the worldtimer, the perpetual calendar and the tourbillon, which were instrumental in shaping the brand’s identity when they were introduced.
The Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture, ref. FC-716TU3H6, comes in a refined 40 mm by 11.98 mm stainless steel case housing the FC-716 calibre with a new 72-hour power reserve.
It is the first Frederique Constant model to feature turquoise, recognisable by the black mineral fibres that create its natural marbled effect.
The minimalist layout, with indices and polished dauphine hands, leaves the stone to speak for itself. Only 716 pieces will be produced, with 37 reserved for The Elements sets in 2025 and the remainder arriving in 2026. Price: €4,895.
The Classic Worldtimer Manufacture, ref. FC-718LA4H6, offers an easy-to-read world time display with 24 cities around the dial and a day-night indicator divided clearly into light and dark sections.
The FC-718 calibre is operated entirely through its single crown. Its 42 mm by 12.55 mm steel case frames a lapis lazuli dial used both on the main display and on the date subdial at six o’clock. This edition will appear first as part of The Elements Collection before reaching retailers in early 2026, limited to 718 pieces in total. Price: €5,395.
The Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture, ref. FC-776HE3H6, introduces a rare heliotrope dial with naturally occurring inclusions that create a vivid patchwork of green, black and red.
Each dial is unique. The tricompax layout offers clear day, date and month displays, with a discreet leap-year indication and a moonphase aperture at six o’clock that reveals part of the stone. The 40 mm by 12.10 mm steel case contains the FC-776 calibre, visible through the sapphire caseback with a 72-hour power reserve. This reference will be offered only within the 37 Elements sets. Price: €10,995.
For the Classic Tourbillon Manufacture, ref. FC-980ONB3H6, Frederique Constant uses black onyx to enhance the contrast with the polished indices and hands and to draw attention to the tourbillon at 6 o’clock.
The mechanism is held by a hand-polished bridge and carries a central seconds hand along with its individual number. Presented in a 39 mm by 11.14 mm steel case, this tourbillon is limited to 37 pieces and available exclusively within The Elements set. Price: €15,995.
The Highlife Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Manufacture, ref. FC-975BRG4NH6B, is the only model in the set that sits outside the Classic collection, the only one without a mineral dial and the only piece to combine both a tourbillon and a perpetual calendar.
It is also the only watch offered with a stainless steel bracelet, complemented by interchangeable leather and rubber straps. Its 41 mm by 12.65 mm steel case reveals the FC-975 calibre through the sapphire caseback and through the openworked dial. Each of the 37 tourbillons created for The Elements set will be individually numbered. Price: €26,995.
Since its founding in 1988, Frederique Constant has established itself within Geneva’s watchmaking landscape and has grown into an integrated manufacture that has consistently supported accessible high-end watchmaking for 37 years. This special set continues the brand’s tradition of celebrating key anniversaries and presents a summary of its most refined creations. frederiqueconstant.com
