Roger Dubuis Sympathie Perpetual Calendar 18K Watch

Roger Dubuis Sympathie Perpetual Calendar 18K White Gold Watch Ref. S 40 5739 - A true rarity from the early era of modern independent watchmaking, this Roger Dubuis Sympathie Perpetual Calendar ref. S 40 5739 represents the height of the brand's pre-Richemont craftsmanship. The distinctive "pointed cushion" 40mm case, executed here in solid 18K white gold, exemplifies the bold design language of the Sympathie collection. Its silver-toned, sunray-finished dial features applied Arabic numerals and indices, a date ring, day and month apertures, a color-coded leap year indicator, and a moon phase display, all arranged in perfect symmetry. Visible through the sapphire caseback is the caliber RD5739, a finely finished perpetual calendar movement reflecting Geneva Seal standards. Produced in extremely limited quantities, with virtually no known examples in white gold, this is a collector's piece that combines historical significance, technical mastery, and unmistakable design.
