The Chinese dragon has undergone several metamorphoses over the last three millennia. After a thousand years, the dragon's egg hatched and produced a marine reptile resembling a giant lizard, the mosasaurus. Now extinct, it cruised the ocean depths during the Mesozoïc era, measuring up to 18 metres. Authentic fossilised mosasaurus teeth, like those first discovered in Maastricht in 1764, now decorate the body of the dragon engraved on the dial of this Louis Moinet Tourbillon, offered in a limited series of 12 pieces.
