Louis Vuitton W3YG21 description

The Louis Vuitton Escale W3YG21, introduced in 2026, is presented in a limited edition of 30 pieces. The watch features a 40 mm case in 916/1000 yellow gold incorporating a middle case manufactured from tiger’s eye. Case height measures 8.97 mm excluding the crystal and 10.34 mm including the domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The bezel is polished, while the lugs combine brushed and polished finishes. The case back is polished and fitted with sapphire crystal. An engraved 750/1000 white gold plate bears the inscription “1 of 30”. Water resistance is rated at 30 metres.

The dial features a tiger’s eye centre matching the ornamental stone of the middle case. The natural structure of the material results in variation in colour and pattern between individual pieces. Hours and minutes are indicated by 750/1000 yellow gold hands, while the central seconds hand is executed in PVD-coated titanium. Applied indexes are manufactured in 750/1000 yellow gold.

The watch is powered by the self-winding calibre LFT023. The movement measures 30.6 mm in diameter and 4.2 mm in thickness. It operates at 28,000 vibrations per hour, equivalent to 4 Hz, and delivers a power reserve of approximately 50 hours. The calibre incorporates 32 jewels and is equipped with a 916/1000 rose gold micro-rotor integrated into the movement architecture. The LFT023 is certified as a chronometer by the Geneva Chronometric Observatory in accordance with ISO 3159 standards, with declared accuracy of -4/+6 seconds per day.

The Escale W3YG21 is fitted with a Savannah brown Saffiano leather strap with hand-stitching and a 750/1000 yellow gold pin buckle.
