Daniel Roth Daniel Roth Premier Retrograde Full Set Ref.807.L.10

Daniel Roth, the master watchmaker, has gained increasing attention in recent years. He is renowned alongside George Daniel, F.P. Journe, and Philippe Dufour, and is considered one of the most important high-end mechanical watchmakers of the last century. In his works, we can see the master's dedication to traditional elegance and classical aesthetics, combined with a spirit of independent watchmaking.

This Premier Retrograde timepiece is an early classic in his collection. It features a stainless steel case paired with a black dial, adorned with exquisite guilloché patterns. The iconic double elliptical case shape, with a diameter of 35*41mm, strikes a perfect balance of elegance. The watch is comfortable to wear, thanks to its curved sapphire crystal and case back.

At the top of the dial, you'll find Daniel Roth's original Premier Retrograde retrograde arrow hand, accompanied by hand-painted luminescent hour markers. The hour hand flies back in a retrograde manner at 6 o'clock in the morning and evening, avoiding overlap with the calendar sub-dial below. The design and layout are exquisitely crafted, and each retrograde jump of the hour hand holds a sense of ceremony.

The watch I'm sharing today is a complete set from 2002, including the box and papers. It is in excellent condition, with only minor signs of wear on the case. The timekeeping is precise, ensuring accurate functionality.
