Historical significance

Laurent Ferrier Classic Origin 40 mm Ice Grade sits within Laurent Ferrier's Classic Origin line, introduced in 2010. It carries the house codes established since 2010 — grade 5 titanium case, ice blue dial and satellite-hour automatic — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.

Interesting facts

• The case is finished by hand, alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces in a single pass so the edges stay razor sharp.
• Early production dials show a slightly different minute track, and collectors pay a premium for them.
• The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.
