Catalogue Essay
The present Hommage Perpetual Calendar Dual Time wristwatch showcases the technical complexity that Roger Dubuis is best known for. The watch not only features a dual time functions, it also houses an instantaneous perpetual calendar and moon phases complication. Fitted with the brand’s renowned instantaneous perpetual calendar mechanism, the watch provides smooth and instant transition of the days without requiring any corrections. Once the hands pass midnight, the calendar instantly displays the day, date, month along with the leap year indicators through the apertures.

The present model was presented at the SIHH shortly before Richemont acquired the brand and the initial plan was to produce the model in a series of 88 pieces only. To the best of our knowledge, only 2 pieces were ever produced and the present watch is the only known example ever sold.

In excellent overall condition, the present watch is a very good example of a modern interpretation of watchmaking.
