Timepieces
by Swiss watch manufacturer Roger Dubuis never disappoint. Offering a
range of visionary, idiosyncratic, and flamboyant watches, these
timepieces should not be ignored. Mr. Dubuis launched the brand along
with Carlos Dias in 1995. Prior to that he had spent fourteen years at
Patek Philippe.
Singular
in its inspired design, this Roger Dubuis watch is a highly
limited-edition timepiece where only 28 pieces were produced. As such,
it can be difficult to obtain.
The
splendid dial is positively alive with functions. At 9 you will find a
retrograde day function and at 3 there is a retrograde date function. A
lovely moon phase indicator at 6 adds a dash of celestial blue and gold.
Blued steel hands are prominent against the silver-plated cream-colored
dial with dynamically stretched silver-tone Roman numerals.
The
luxurious ergonomic 18K rose gold case measures a healthy 57.5 mm x 34
mm, is 14.5 mm in height, and rests upon a black leather strap with
after-market gold-plated buckle.
The
signed and numbered exhibition case back allows you to see the movement
in action, which, in this case (pun most definitely intended) is the
self-winding automatic Roger Dubuis RD 5740, which beats at 21,600 vph
and possesses 29 jewels. Additional features include a scratch-resistant
sapphire crystal and a 30 m / 3 atm water resistance.
From
its limited-edition availability to its spectacular stylings, we
believe this MuchMore Biretrograde Calendar watch from Roger Dubuis will
make a superb addition to your collection.
Standout feature(s): Highly limited edition of only 28 pieces produced; luxurious 18K pink gold case; fascinating retrograde day and date functions.
