  • Catalogue Essay

    Inspired by his time at Patek Philippe, Roger Dubuis launched his eponymous brand in 1995, channeling his passion into imagining modern renditions of historical classics. The Hommage H40 exemplifies this creative vision. Limited to just 28 pieces, the H40 draws aesthetic inspiration from vintage Patek Philippe chronograph references.

    The movement is based on the Lemania 2310 ébauche, which is also used in the renowned Patek Philippe ref. 5070. Beautifully finished, the movement bears the Poinçon de Genève seal and 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) - remarkable achievements for an independent young manufacture.

    Well-preserved in excellent overall condition, this H40 numbered 2 of 28 comes with an additional solid caseback.
