Catalogue Essay
- The Roger Dubuis chronograph H37 is a remarkable timepiece, particularly noteworthy as an early example produced before the brand's acquisition by Richemont. Roger Dubuis, a skilled watchmaker who had previously worked for prestigious brands such as Patek Philippe and Longines, established his own workshop and launched his eponymous brand in 1995, in collaboration with Carlos Dias.
- The H37 model is a visually stunning watch that exhibits remarkable attention to detail, sure to impress even the most discerning watch purists. The movement is based on the Lemania 2310 ébauche, which is also used in the renowned Patek Philippe reference 5070. Notably, the movement proudly bears the Geneva seal, a prestigious certification achieved by only a select few watchmakers, especially notable for an independent watchmaker at the time.
- The presence of the "Bulletin d'Observatoire" signature on the dial went a step further that this movement underwent accuracy testing at the Besançon Observatory, which held more stringent standards than the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC).
- The chronograph pushers of the present H37 boast a flared finish, reminiscent of the design found on the Patek Philippe ref. 1463 "Tasti Tondi". Also featuring an attractive sector dial with pulsations scale, giving it a vintage aesthetic and paying tribute to the rare pulsations scale used by doctors in the past.
- According to research, the model was produced in 28 pieces only, offered in excellent overall condition, this watch features blued skeletonized hands that enhances its legibility and is highly desirable for lovers and collectors of fine chronograph wristwatches.
