The timepiece features a diamond studded and encrusted tracery based upon the image of a spider. The dial showcases the RM19-01 manual winding tourbillon caliber assembled around a black rhodium-plated, 18K white gold black sapphire set baseplate.

The 18K white gold spider, which is set with diamonds, forms an integral part of the movement, with the abdomen of the spider actually supporting the bridges of the tourbillon, and its legs supporting the two winding barrels.
