Historical significance

Montblanc Star Legacy 38 mm Meteorite 18k sits within Montblanc's Star Legacy line, introduced in 2014. It carries the house codes established since 1906 — 18k yellow gold case, meteorite dial and automatic, swiss lever escapement — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.

Interesting facts

• The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.
• Early production dials show a slightly different minute track, and collectors pay a premium for them.
