This manifested brilliantly in this exquisite platinum Retrograde ref. 2127. Inspired by George Daniels' pocket watches, Roth translated traditional mastery into modernist creations. The mesmerizing retrograde and jumping hours are a marvel to look at on the understated grey dial. Bearing serial number 22, this may be among the earliest Retrogrades crafted. Details like Roman numerals and an unengraved caseback signify origins closer to Roth's 1991 debut of the Retrograde than subsequent evolutions. As one of the rarest and earliest Roth Retrogrades, this watch encapsulates the spirit of independent creativity. At a time when his inventive vision is inspiring a new generation, these foundational pieces cement Roth's enduring influence.
