Astronomia Art Octopus Rose Gold Baguette AT802.40.BD.UA.A

Description of the Jacob & Co. Watch

The Jacob & Co Astronomia Art Octopus Rose Gold Baguette AT802.40.BD.UA.A is an extraordinary expression of artistic imagination and haute horlogerie. Created as a Pièce Unique, this breathtaking Astronomia Art masterpiece captures the beauty of the ocean through a meticulously hand-engraved, hand-painted, and lacquered three-dimensional titanium octopus displayed above a dazzling diamond-set base. Crafted from 18K rose gold, the watch is adorned with hundreds of invisibly set baguette diamonds across the dial, lugs, and clasp, while Jacob & Co.'s signature double-axis tourbillon, rotating Jacob Cut® diamond, and magnesium globe create a mesmerizing mechanical performance beneath the iconic domed sapphire crystal.

How Does the Astronomia Art Octopus Rose Gold Baguette Stand Out Among Luxury Watches

The Jacob & Co Astronomia Art Octopus Rose Gold Baguette is a remarkable collector's timepiece that blends exceptional gemstone craftsmanship with revolutionary Swiss watchmaking. Its sculpted octopus, invisible baguette diamond setting, and signature Astronomia movement make it unlike any conventional luxury watch. For discerning collectors in Dubai, this Pièce Unique represents one of Jacob & Co.'s most exclusive artistic creations.

Design and Craftsmanship

The impressive 50 mm case is crafted from luxurious 18K rose gold and protected by a unique domed sapphire crystal with multiple anti-reflective treatments that reveal every intricate detail of the movement. At its center, a hand-engraved, hand-painted, and lacquered titanium octopus appears suspended above an 18K rose gold base dial invisibly set with 257 baguette-cut white diamonds totaling approximately 8.27 carats. The brilliance continues across the watch with 80 baguette white diamonds totaling approximately 6.10 carats adorning the lugs, while the 18K rose gold deployant clasp is invisibly set with an additional 18 baguette white diamonds totaling approximately 1.40 carats. A titanium dial with signature blued Jacob & Co. hands completes this extraordinary work of wearable art.

Movement and Performance

Powering this masterpiece is the exclusive hand-wound Jacob & Co. Caliber JCAM25, composed of 367 components and finished entirely by hand. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour with a 60-hour power reserve, the movement features Jacob & Co.'s signature static vertical architecture with four rotating arms. The double-axis tourbillon rotates on its first axis every 60 seconds and its second axis every 2.5 minutes, while the exclusive 1-carat, 288-facet Jacob Cut® diamond and the blue lacquered magnesium globe each complete a full rotation every 30 seconds. The result is a spectacular three-dimensional display that showcases both exceptional mechanical engineering and artistic craftsmanship.
