Jacob & Co BILLIONAIRE II 487 Emerald-Cut Diamonds 161-Carats

Billionaire is born from the profound love Jacob Arabo has for diamonds. Of all gems, it holds a special place in his creative heart and mind. Since his earliest days as a jeweler, he has developed a passion for perfection, for the most lavish, large, white and pure of diamonds.  Since the early days of Jacob & Co., Jacob Arabo has dreamt about a culminating creation where diamonds and watchmaking would both peak together. In 2016, that intimate calling came to fruition with the release of a skeleton, tourbillon, one-of-one timepiece entirely set with very large diamonds : Billionaire. With a price tag, number of diamonds and design that had never been seen before, the first Billionaire shattered all records, and was followed by several variations.  Billionaire II is a true heir to the original Billionaire. The 487 emerald-cut diamonds, their intense whiteness, their cream-of-the-crop purity, their individual size, especially the ones on the case, and the fact that the 161-carat Billionaire II is being edited in a one-off piece is all a testament to the level of expertise, dedication and exclusivity Jacob & Co. has achieved.
