VSF has masterfully replicated the laser-etched “fluted motif”—a mesmerizing geometric pattern that beautifully catches the light.

The Iconic Fluted Bezel: Restoring the Datejust to its most famous silhouette, VSF has flawlessly replicated the iconic fluted bezel. Plated in heavy 18K Yellow Gold, the sharp, highly polished ridges catch the light from every angle, perfectly complementing the geometric laser-etched pattern on the dial.
