Franck Muller Vanguard V45 SC DT - Steel Case with Custom Diamond - 45mm



Overview

Franck Muller is one of Switzerland's most flamboyant fine watchmakers, known for bold case shapes, high-complication movements, and lavish decorative treatments. The Vanguard V45 SC DT is a 45mm sport-luxury piece with an automatic movement and date function, wearing a custom diamond dial that replaces standard indices with stone-set markers. Franck Muller watches occupy a distinct niche in the luxury market, and the custom diamond configuration elevates this further. Retail pricing for diamond-set Vanguard references is significant, and secondary market values reflect the brand's niche positioning.



Description

The Vanguard case is Franck Muller's modern sport reference, featuring a rounded rectangular form that is instantly recognisable and distinct from anything else in the luxury watch market. The SC designation indicates a specific case configuration, and DT indicates the date complication. The diamond dial in this example is described as custom, which buyers should take to mean that the stone setting may be an aftermarket modification rather than a factory Franck Muller configuration.
