Whereas today DeBethune is synonymous with creative and contemporary designs and technical prowess best symbolizing 21st century watchmaking, the original designs of the brand displayed a more “traditional” and “classic” aesthetic.

One of the esteemed brand’s “founding” models is the reference DB9, the heir to the DB3, typified by a display of only the essentials: power reserve, hours, minutes and seconds. It is quintessentially De Bethune, with a slim case, bullet shaped lugs, superb gulloché dial, and blue Roman numerals. Only 9 pieces were made in white gold, combined with 10 in pink gold, results in a still ultra limited production of only 19 pieces.

Produced in 2003 and sold in 2006, the present DB9W comes complete with its original accessories and is presented in crisp, original condition.
