Chanel
Premiere Classic Lady Small Strap - Gold & Leather

Chanel Première Steel – Reference H0451 Pre-owned – Medium Bracelet Size – Year 1998 (model produced between 1995 and 2005)

"A silhouette says it all."

Backstage at a haute couture show, under white neon lights and buzzing creativity, a silhouette slips between silk racks and clicking heels. A discreet, graphic, fluid watch. The Chanel Première. Worn by an in-demand stylist or a PR powerhouse with a golden contact list, it moves through the fast-paced days of fashion insiders: a quick coffee at Café Charlot, a fitting session on Rue Saint-Honoré, then a rooftop cocktail in Paris. The Première doesn’t follow trends – it sets them.

Born in the heart of Place Vendôme, the Chanel Première is one of the maison’s most iconic watches. With its octagonal case inspired by the stopper of the N°5 perfume bottle and its resolutely Parisian elegance, the Première transcends time and trend. In its steel version, reference H0451, this timepiece reflects discreet modernity and minimalist refinement, designed for women with a confident sense of style and timeless allure. The Première’s design is a statement: pure geometry with no excess, where every line evokes haute couture and the art of detail. This model in brushed and polished steel features a chain bracelet interlaced with black leather that flows smoothly around the wrist. The Medium bracelet size offers a perfect balance between comfort and sophistication.

Its lacquered black dial, with no markers or numerals, expresses Chanel’s design purity. Only the gold-tone hands trace the passage of time, in a composition that’s both sober and captivating. A vision of femininity that is powerful yet subtle – mysterious, chic, and assured. Powered by a Swiss quartz movement, the Chanel Première H0451 delivers reliable precision and hassle-free use. It suits every occasion: from professional meetings to gallery openings or elegant dinners, it enhances every outfit with its unique charm.

Produced between 1995 and 2005, this generation of the Chanel Première is especially sought after for its fidelity to the original vision of Jacques Helleu, Chanel’s legendary artistic director. This 1998 piece represents the heart of that era—a watch that embodies, more than any other, the quiet and absolute elegance of the Parisian maison.
