White Gold and Enamel
I’m interested in hearing members thoughts on a fairly specific configuration.
Any manufacturer an option, but leaning towards high horological bonafides. -38mm to 40mm -White gold, no rhodium plating -Gran Feu Enamel Dial -Manual winding complication -White gold bracelet a plus -Not looking to spend above MSRP |

I’ll go with my favorite Voutilainen. Won’t have the gold bracelet, but believe it’ll hit everything else you are looking for.

You're probably looking for a unicorn. I've looked plenty around for a perfect watch and have only found 1 where I wouldn't change a single thing - but like many other things in life, there are many things that are "good enough."
It's high horology, so you can't really go wrong; on the other hand, compromising and settling at this price point is also hard to justify. - Breguet Classique 7147 (automatic) with Grand Feu + white gold bracelet from 5177 - Lange 1 160.029 is a mother of pearl dial which could potentially fit the bill if you're willing to compromise. |

Patek 5116G - white gold, manual wound movement with enamel dial, 37mm but with the lugs wears bigger. Love mine - just a classic piece especially with the hobnail bezel. I think all in all a killer combination and being a Patek makes it even more special. Love mine!
Another option is the Breguet 5177: white gold, 38mm case, grand feu enamel dial but has an automatic movement. Retail c£21k. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

+1 Voutilainen or Bregeut.
Added: Ok, yeah, wow the Lang & Heyne Heinrich look nice! Or see who else will custom make it for you, but agree the bracelet part might be tricky.

Must look at Laurent Ferrier! ( https://laurentferrier.ch/collections/timepieces )
I love the Galet Square microrotor (in SS), but the Galet Classic is their round version. Definitely reach out to them. Their white grand feu enamel dials are gorgeous & the movement & finishing are stunning & among the best, period. I bet they'd bespoke a white dial in a WG case for you. Definitely worth reaching out! LF for web 1.jpg LF for web 2.jpg LF for web 3 copy ed.jpg
