As Abraham-Louis Breguet was the inventor of the tourbillon, the design and creation of tourbillon wristwatches was particularly important to Roth. One of the first models that he developed for his eponymous brand was the double dial reference C187 in 1988. The present reference 197.X.40 is a stunning celebration and continuation of his tourbillon wristwatches introduced roughly in the late 1990s to 2000s when Roth’s company was revived by the Singapore-based retailer The Hour Glass.

Encased in Roth’s signature pink gold double-ellipse case, this delightful timepiece comes with a double dial and a hinged case back. On the front dial, the upper portion is reserved for a superbly elegant hour and minutes dial decorated by a silver brushed chapter ring with Roman numerals outlined with sauté piqué pattern, reminiscent of the iconic Breguet dial design. Set against a sea of sand white Clou de Paris guilloché pattern, the dial is further accentuated by the blued hands. On the lower part of the dial, silver Côtes de Genève complements an aperture which shows the tourbillon in action, which will surely make your heart skip a beat when you see it in person. As you open the hinged case, the watch reveals its secret to you, a delicate date indicator with Vieux Panier guilloché, and an eight-day power reserve aperture set on a beautiful cream Clou de Paris dial.

Preserved in excellent condition and numbered 024, this present watch is a reverie of refined elegance that you could only wish for.
