FRANCK MULLER Casablanca Cintrée Curvex 25mm Ref 1752QZ Watch

Q: What is the Franck Muller Casablanca Cintrée Curvex 25mm (Ref. 1752QZ)?
A: It’s a Swiss‑made ladies’ quartz watch featuring Franck Muller’s iconic curved tonneau (Cintrée Curvex) stainless‑steel case, a salmon‑coloured dial with bold black Arabic numerals, elegant blued steel hands, and a crown set with a blue cabochon. It comes on a stainless‑steel bracelet and is offered pre‑owned in very good condition.

Q: What does “Cintrée Curvex” mean and how does the 25mm size wear?
A: Cintrée Curvex refers to Franck Muller’s signature curved, tonneau‑shaped case designed to contour the wrist for comfort and a refined profile. At 25mm, this model has a petite, dressy presence ideal for smaller wrists. Approximate dimensions: height 3.5 cm, width 2.5 cm, depth 0.8 cm; the curved case helps it sit flatter and wear elegantly day or evening.

Q: Which movement does it use and how long will the battery last?
A: It uses a Swiss quartz movement for reliable, fuss‑free timekeeping. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years depending on use and storage. Many similar quartz watches use a 1.55V silver‑oxide cell; please have a professional confirm the exact battery type for this specific reference before replacement.

Q: How do I set the time on this watch?
A: Gently pull the crown out to the time‑setting position and rotate the hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in firmly when finished. This reference is typically time‑only (no date), so there’s no date‑setting step.

Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I wear it in the rain or swim with it?
A: With vintage/pre‑owned watches, water resistance cannot be guaranteed without recent servicing and pressure testing. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best and avoid swimming, showering or submersion. Keep the crown fully pushed in and have gaskets inspected if light moisture resistance is important to you.

Q: What type of crystal does it have?
A: Many Franck Muller Casablanca models feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. If you’d like us to confirm the crystal type on this exact 1752QZ watch, please contact us and we’ll verify it for you.

Q: Will it fit my wrist, and can the stainless‑steel bracelet be resized?
A: As listed, it fits a wrist up to approximately 15.75 cm. The bracelet can typically be resized by adding or removing links; we can size it prior to dispatch. Additional links may be sourced subject to availability—share your wrist measurement and we’ll advise options.

Q: What design details stand out on this Casablanca?
A: The salmon dial with large, stylised Arabic numerals is characteristic of the Casablanca line’s Art‑Deco influence. Blued steel hands provide refined contrast and legibility, while the blue cabochon set into the crown adds a subtle jewellery‑like touch.

Q: What servicing and care should I expect with a quartz watch?
A: Replace the battery every 2–3 years and have seals/gaskets checked if moisture resistance matters. A routine movement check every 5–10 years is sensible. Avoid strong magnets, chemicals and extreme heat; wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after wear to keep it looking its best.

Q: What is included, and what is the condition?
A: This listing is delivered with no accessories unless otherwise stated. Overall condition is very good; the hardware is shiny with light scratches consistent with careful pre‑owned wear.
