Considered to be one of the most remarkable contemporary watchmakers, Daniel Roth trained in his early career with high-end brands like Audemars Piguet and played a crucial role in the revival of Breguet. Offering his creative take on traditional, Breguet-inspired watches, of which this piece is an enduring testament, he designed his double-faced Tourbillon, reference C187, in 1988 and released it the following year as a way to announce his independence and the creation of his eponymous brand. Upon launch of his brand, Roth immediately established his personal design language, the most obvious being the unusual ellipsocurvex shape, hands with pointed tips and dials with guilloché patterns, all elements you can find in the present white gold Regulateur Tourbillion. The Daniel Roth reference C187 is probably one of the watchmaker's better-known creations. On the front side, taking center stage, is the large tourbillon escapement with an original triple arm seconds hand featuring three hands of different lengths that indicate the seconds on three different seconds registers, each calibrated for 20 seconds. The caseback features a retrograde power reserve and date indications.

The present example is from the only series made in a limited edition, furthermore in stainless steel for 20 pieces of which the present example is number 15. It shall be additionally noted that - considering the "Roth Era", when the eponymous watchmaker was at the helm of the company: from 1986 to 1996 — this is the only series of complicated watches made by the brand in steel. The white gold dial features a remarkably executed vertical guillochage. The movement that powers this remarkable timepiece is based off the Lemania 387 ébauche, which has been highly modified and finished at the highest of levels. The present watch is preserved in excellent overall condition and offered with its full set of accessories: outer box, box, instruction booklet, Daniel Roth Club subscription card, and original warranty booklet which - as expected for an Italian edition - is dated in Italian Gennaio 2000: January 2000.
