Full-Cataloguing
Good to Know:
- Complete with all of its original accessories
- Numbered 3 of a limited of 28 pieces
- Oversized case
The early Roger Dubuis creations were produced in strictly limited quantities— typically no more than 28 examples per variant — reflecting the founder’s emphasis on rarity. Each and every piece bore the Poinçon de Genève and frequently carried certification from the Observatoire National de Besançon, like the present example.
The physical presence of the Hommage H46 is immediately striking. Encased in 18K pink gold and measuring 46 mm in diameter with a transparent exhibition caseback, the watch projects a commanding yet refined silhouette. The case features polished and brushed surfaces, elegantly beveled lugs, and a design that pays subtle deference to mid-20th century chronograph aesthetics.
The H46 is equipped with the manual-winding cal. RD 56, a highly decorated descendant of the Lemania 2310 column-wheel chronograph movement. Every component receives traditional haute horlogerie treatment: Côtes de Genève striping, anglage, and perlage on the main plate. Such attention to detail was personally overseen in many early examples by Roger Dubuis himself, lending each watch an almost bespoke character.
It is a watch that rewards close inspection by offering a tactile connection to the golden age of Swiss horology. For the discerning collector, the Hommage series is a truly tangible link to Roger Dubuis’s vision of watchmaking as both art and science.
