A direct descendant of the 1936 Reverso Cordonnet, which was worn on a plain black silk cord in keeping with 1930s fashion. The “cordonnet” idea has been reinterpreted more than once since: a 2021 Duetto version pairs a diamond-set cord with mother-of-pearl and onyx dials, while an earlier 2013 piece used a diamond-set twisted rope bracelet — visually closer to a woven cord rendered in gold and stones than to a fabric strap — on a small reversible case.
