The JeanRichard 1681 Small Second Gold Blue pairs a rose-gold case with a blue lacquer dial and an automatic JR1090 movement. Horbiter’s review reports a 44 mm case and 11.3 mm thickness; those figures apply to this Gold Blue version, not every watch in the 1681 family. This is a source-based overview, not an independent hands-on test, and current price and availability have not been verified.
What defines the 1681 Small Second Gold Blue?
Horbiter describes a high-contrast design: rose gold against an iridescent blue lacquer dial. The case combines polished and satin surfaces, with applied rose-gold indexes. A blue alligator strap and rose-gold folding buckle complete the configuration. Horbiter characterizes the result as bold and potentially divisive, with a vintage appearance.
The review reports a case width of 44 mm and thickness of 11.3 mm. These are the published dimensions for the Gold Blue reviewed, rather than independent measurements. Its automatic JR1090 movement is visible through a transparent case back.
How does the JR1090 movement and small seconds work?
The JR1090 is described in the Gold Blue review as an upgrade to the JR1000 that adds a small-seconds display. Horbiter reports a frequency of 4 Hz and at least 48 hours of power reserve. The small-seconds layout places the seconds indication in its own subdial rather than using a central seconds hand.

How does it differ from other JeanRichard 1681 watches?
“1681” identifies a family, not one fixed specification. Case material, size, seconds display, movement, and water resistance vary by reference. Historical coverage documents several distinct configurations:
| Documented variant | Case and display | Movement and reserve | Water resistance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1681 Small Second Gold Blue, covered by Horbiter | Rose gold; 44 mm; small seconds | JR1090; at least 48 hours | Not stated in Horbiter review |
| 1681 Ronde, steel, described by WatchProSite in 2012 | Steel; small seconds | JR1050; 48-hour minimum reserve | 50 m |

| 1681 Ronde, pink gold, described by WatchProSite in 2012 | Pink gold; 41 mm; central seconds | JR1000; not stated in the WatchProSite article | Not stated in the WatchProSite article |
The figures in this comparison belong to the named references and historical reports, not to the Gold Blue unless explicitly identified in its row. Confirm the exact reference on the watch or listing before comparing specifications.

What is known about price and availability?
Current price and stock for the Gold Blue have not been verified. The Watch Observer gave a recommended price of €5,600 in France in 2014 for the different steel reference 60330-11-133-HDC0. That historical, geographically specific figure is not a current valuation or price guide for the rose-gold Gold Blue.

- Confirm the reference and compare the case material, diameter, seconds layout, caliber, dial, and strap with documentation for that variant.
- Review photographs for visible condition and ask for details about papers, service history, and any replaced parts.
- Assess the seller and request a condition report. A qualified watchmaker’s inspection can help evaluate a pre-owned mechanical watch, but no Gold Blue-specific service interval or cost is established here.
Christie’s condition report for a different, circa-2000s steel 1681 recommended service for that lot because of its age and said accuracy had not been tested. Those comments concern that auction example only; they do not diagnose the Gold Blue or establish a model-wide service schedule.
