Horological maestro Denis Flageollet teamed up with collector extraordinaire David Zanetta in 2002 to create the independent watchmaking tour-de-force that is De Bethune, striving to implement avant-garde designs rooted in traditional watchmaking principals. In the almost two decades since they began to make watches together, they have developed over thirty in-house movements and a cavalcade of technical innovations.

First introduced to the market in 2003, the De Bethune DB15 Perpetual Calendar is a highly legible, clean, delicate, and elegant perpetual calendar display combining De Bethune’s signature design cues for the dial and technically evolved movement elements. It was the first of De Bethune’s calibres with the now-ubiquitous spherical moonphase indicator. Already an important reference in the growing history of independent watchmaking, this DB15 with beautiful dark grey dial with gold Roman numerals and gold hands is part of an exclusive series of only eight pieces ever produced.

Offered here in compelling overall condition from the original owner and complete with its original accessories, this DB15 is an incredibly rare and remarkable opportunity to procure a gem of the independent watchmaking landscape.
