Housed in a 38.8 mm case crafted from 750/- palladium — a rare platinum-group metal — the Monard Ref. 343.506-016 keeps its proportions refined at an estimated 10.9 mm thick. A polished palladium bezel frames the champagne/gold fumé dial, while a domed sapphire crystal sits above and a see-through sapphire case back closes the rear, opening a direct view onto the movement within.

The Monard is presented in unworn condition and worn on an alligator leather strap secured by a pin buckle. Individual number 200104065 is recorded for this example, reference 343.506-016.
