The DB25 collection can be considered, in the De Bethune panorama, as an evening version of the DB28. This is implicit into its more subtle proportions and the lack of floating lugs, but the entire ethos of the brand is undeniably present in the case construction, most notably in the skeletonized lugs. The present “White Night” version was launched in 2014 together with its opposite twin (the DB25 “Midnight Blue”). It features an incredible inventive dial, defined by a white lacquer central disc surrounded by a mirror-polished blued titanium track with applied pink gold dot indexes which reprise on the dial the case hue.
The final effect is absolutely delightful, stemming from the stark contrast between the two dial elements. The pink gold case adds grace and importance to the ensemble.
The present watch was sold on December 30, 2020 - making it about three years old only - and judging by its condition it was hardly ever worn. It is offered together with its Certificate and very unusual book-shaped leather box.
