Daniel Roth Perpetual Calendar 118.L.60.011.CN.BA 18k WG

Founded in 1989, Daniel Roth is long-established as one of the early entrants in the independent watchmaking space, which has since ballooned in popularity with brands like Urwerk, MB&F, and Richard Mille launching from the very foundations that Daniel Roth laid. With their distinctive styling, fresh take on design, and technical prowess, the indie watchmaker quickly rose to fame. An emblematic example of their watchmaking guile, this extremely rare 18k white gold perpetual calendar ref. 118.l.60 was released in the late 1990s after Daniel Roth’s economic survival was assured by the Singapore-based retailer The Hour Glass following the downfall of their previous owners, Chaumet, in 1992. A stunningly beautiful watch that symbolizes Daniel Roth’s craftsmanship and technical prowess like none other, this incredible perpetual calendar timepiece offers a stunning two-tone dial with silver chapter rings atop its grey display, blued steel hands, and a wonderfully decorated movement within. Sporting concentric guilloche engraving throughout its chapter rings and vertically engraved finishings across its grey portions, this vastly complex timepiece’s dial combines with Daniel Roth’s iconic ellipsocurvex case to create a wonderfully exuberant aesthetic as its polished case contrasts the various finishes on its dial with a stunning effect.
