Offered here is a great looking Franck Muller Long Island Color Dreams ref. 1100 DS R in an 18K White Gold with double retrograde seconds complication. The movement is powered by FM Caliber 2800 GR with 21 jewels.
The upper seconds dial shows 0 to 30 seconds and as soon as the small hand reaches the 30 mark, it retracts to 0 and the bottom seconds hand pics up from 30 and moves left to 60 mark.
When it reaches 60, the upper one takes over again.
Beautiful oyster dial with “exploding” Arabic numerals in various colors.
Each of these colors is hand painted on the dial.
There is an interesting video showing the process involved on Franck Muller website.

This is a big and heavy watch weighing 121 grams with the original Frank Muller leather band and an 18K gold buckle.
It comes with it’s original double box, Franck Muller Certificate, Purchase receipt from the store at the Venetian Resort in Macao.
