The Sympathie model was released as one of the first models launched by Roger Dubuis after establishing his own brand in 1995, alongside the Hommage model. Early Roger Dubuis timepieces are rare and highly sought after in the market today as each model and variant were only produced with 28 examples. The Sympathie model all feature a unique case design differing from the Hommage model featuring timepieces with round cases.

The present example Roger Dubuis Symphanie Quantieme Perpetual from circa 2000 in 18K pink gold numbered 3 of a limited edition of 28 pieces belongs to an early example of the model featuring a perpetual calendar complication with moon phases and leap year indication. Well-executed, early Roger Dubuis timepieces are chronometer certified to Bulletin D’Observatoire standards and further stamped by the Geneva seal. Offered with its full set of accessories, this present example is certainly rare as it is usually rare to come across early Roger Dubuis timepieces accompanied by the full set of accessories.
