Louis Vuitton Revives Cult-Classic Monterey Watch with Limited 188-Piece Gold Edition

News summary

Louis Vuitton has revived its iconic Monterey watch, originally launched in 1988 as the brand's first wristwatch, designed by Italian architect Gae Aulenti. The new 39mm yellow gold model features a white Grand Feu enamel dial and is powered by the in-house LFT MA01.02 automatic movement, limited to 188 pieces, blending elements of both original LV I and LV II versions. The Monterey's distinctive pebble-shaped, lugless design with a crown at 12 o'clock remains faithful to its original, while modern upgrades include refined craftsmanship and mechanical movement replacing quartz. This watch, once considered ahead of its time and a niche collectible, has gained renewed interest, notably appearing on fashion runways and in celebrity circles, highlighting its growing status as a cult classic. The recent rediscovery of 66 untouched original Monterey watches in a US warehouse further underscores the model's historical and collector appeal.
