MAURICE LACROIX – Masterpiece Double Retrograde – MP7018 – Watch Dial

MAURICE LACROIX Masterpiece Double Retrograde MP7018 Watch Dial

Overview

MAURICE LACROIX is a Swiss watchmaker founded in 1975 in the Jura region, known for its in-house complications and contemporary designs. The Masterpiece collection, introduced in the early 2000s, features high-end mechanical movements with complications such as retrograde displays, power reserve indicators, and dual time zones. The MP7018 is part of the Double Retrograde series, distinguished by its two retrograde functions: a 24-hour secondary time zone and a calendar display.

This is an original, unused watch dial for the MAURICE LACROIX Masterpiece Double Retrograde MP7018. The dial measures approximately 36 mm in diameter and is crafted from a silver-toned metal base with a guilloché finish, a decorative engine-turning technique that creates intricate, repetitive patterns. The hour markers are square-shaped and finished in blue, contrasting with black Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock. Gold accents are applied to the hands and select markers, adding a refined touch to the overall aesthetic.

The dial features four distinct complications: a power reserve indicator at 3 o'clock, a running seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock, a retrograde calendar at 6 o'clock, and a retrograde 24-hour secondary time zone display at 12 o'clock. The layout is symmetrical, with each sub-dial positioned at the cardinal points for balanced readability. The dial is in very good condition, with no visible signs of wear, scratches, or oxidation, consistent with its unused status.

This item is sold as a standalone component. No additional parts, such as hands, movement, or case, are included unless explicitly stated. The dial is designed to fit the MAURICE LACROIX Caliber ML156, an automatic movement with a 46-hour power reserve, which powers the Masterpiece Double Retrograde MP7018 model.
