Catalogue Essay
As an independent brand known for producing timepieces in extremely limited quantities, the De Bethune ref. DB9R has a production number of only 10 pieces since it was introduced in 2003. Considered as an evolution of the ref. DB3, the DB9 omits the dual-time indication in favor of a more simplistic design. Featuring the distinctly De Bethune bullet-shaped lugs known as “Ogival lugs”, the watch is a curious combination of futuristic and traditional taste. The dial is available in gold silver or plain gold with guilloche pattern, Arabic blue numerals and a unique seven-day power reserve indicator that resembles a moon phase display.
The present timepiece cased in pink gold from circa 2007 is offered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of only ten pieces of the ref. DB9R, with this example numbered 010.
