Perfect for an elegant dinner or gallery opening, this vintage Franck Muller Sunset 25mm lends refined character with its silver‑tone tonneau case, black dial with gold‑tone numerals and brown alligator‑embossed strap. A chic companion for office-to-evening dressing, its quartz precision keeps you on time with understated Swiss style.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What are the dimensions and how does it wear on the wrist? A: The Cintrée Curvex case measures approximately 25 mm across and about 35 mm from lug to lug in this reference, giving a graceful, slim profile that suits smaller to medium wrists. The tonneau shape curves to the wrist for comfortable daily wear.
Q: What movement is inside and how often will the battery need replacing? A: It uses a Swiss quartz movement from Franck Muller’s 13xx family, noted as QZ (quartz). Typical battery life is around 4 years under normal use; we recommend a watchmaker battery change and water-resistance check at the same time.
Q: Is this watch water-resistant? A: When new, comparable 1752 QZ models are rated to 30 metres. As this is a vintage piece with a leather strap, water resistance is not guaranteed; avoid submersion and have gaskets tested if you expect exposure to moisture.
Q: What does “Sunset” and “1752 QZ” mean? A: Sunset refers to a dial style within the Cintrée Curvex family, known for bold Arabic numerals and elegant curves. The code 1752 identifies this small Curvex case size, while QZ denotes a quartz movement.
Q: What materials and key features does this example have? A: It has a polished stainless steel tonneau case, a sapphire crystal, a black dial with gold-tone Arabic numerals, a crown set with a blue cabochon, and a brown alligator-embossed leather strap with buckle closure.
Q: What wrist sizes will the strap accommodate and can it be changed? A: The current strap fits approximately 13.5–17.5 cm wrists and is adjustable. Straps are easily replaceable; a competent watchmaker can advise on a suitable tapered replacement to match the case and your preferred length.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing is for the watch only. There are no accessories included (no box, papers, or extras). Everything included is always listed under Accessories on this page.
Q: How do I set the time on this model? A: Gently pull the crown to the second position to set the time, then push it back in to start running. Avoid setting the time while the watch is wet and handle the cabochon crown with care to prevent scratches.
Q: When was this reference produced and is this a ladies’ or unisex size? A: The 1752 QZ Cintrée Curvex appeared in the early 2000s and has been offered in various dial and case materials. At 25 mm, it is traditionally classified as a ladies’ size, though the design suits anyone who prefers a smaller, elegant watch.
Q: How do you verify authenticity? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, movement, dial printing, engravings and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
