About this reference
The Bovet Récital 12 "Virtuoso IX" in titanium was introduced in 2024 as a permanent addition to the Dimier collection. Collectors prioritize this reference for its manual-wind Caliber 13BM12, which features a high-efficiency single barrel providing a seven-day power reserve. The 40mm "writing slope" case is constructed from Grade 5 titanium, measuring 9.8mm at its thickest point to improve wearability compared to previous Récital models. The dial architecture utilizes an offset sub-dial at 3 o’clock with a circular-brushed finish, exposing the balance wheel and a power reserve indicator. On the secondary market, these timepieces typically trade in the $20,000 to $30,000 range depending on condition. A notable production detail is the inclusion of the patented triple-blade folding clasp, which allows for fine adjustments to the strap length without tools, a feature specific to this contemporary generation of Bovet sports-elegant watches.
