Backes & Strauss Regent 4452 Diamonds

Step into a world of “Regency” elegance with the Backes & Strauss Regent 4452 Diamonds. This timepiece is not merely a watch, but a “Meeting of Masters”—where the diamond-setting expertise of the world’s oldest diamond house (founded 1789) meets the complex watchmaking genius of Franck Muller.

The Regent 4452 is defined by its meticulous diamond setting. Depending on the specific execution, the case and dial are adorned with Ideal Cut, Hearts and Arrows diamonds, selected for their D, E, or F color and internal flawlessness. The master setters employ over 125 distinct processes to create the dial, ensuring each stone captures and reflects light with mathematical precision. This commitment to “Ideal Cut” standards ensures that every diamond performs with maximum brilliance, fire, and scintillation.

The distinctive oval case is an homage to the architectural flow of London. Its 44.5mm width and 52mm length provide a substantial, “oversized” luxury feel, yet the concave case design ensures it contours perfectly to the wrist. The dial often features hand-polished Roman or Arabic numerals and a date aperture between 4 and 5 o’clock, protected by a specially curved, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that follows the unique arc of the case.

Beneath the diamond-encrusted exterior lies a serious horological engine. The self-winding mechanical movement is fitted with a platinum rotor, visible through the caseback in select models, ensuring smooth energy transfer and a 42-hour power reserve. With a water resistance of 30 meters and a premium alligator leather strap, the Regent 4452 is a durable, wearable work of art that represents the absolute zenith of the diamond-watch category.

This timepiece has undergone a thorough inspection of water resistance, accuracy, functionality and condition to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards. It has also been referenced against technical documents and manufacturer records where available to ensure authenticity and a clean history.
