  • Catalogue Essay

    One of the most brilliant watchmakers of his generation, Daniel Roth first worked for Audemars Piguet in the late 1960s. It was in 1973 that he changed the face of modern horology when he joined Breguet, then a brand on the verge of bankruptcy that only made a handful of timepieces. Roth recreated wristwatches directly inspired by Abraham-Louis Breguet’s pocket watches, producing some of the first modern perpetual calendar and tourbillon wristwatches. Roth left Breguet in 1987 to start his own brand.

    The present lot Daniel Roth retrograde tourbillon is both a technical and visually appealing timepiece. Daniel Roth calibre DR730 is powering this watch. At the time of release was the brand's smallest tourbillon created, fitted with a highly detailed finished dial that highlights the immense depth of the tourbillon that allows the wearer to appreciate Daniel Roth's intricate finishing fully.

    With the unmistakable case design and beautiful movement, it is a Daniel Roth piece worth having.
