Notes
This masterpiece showcases independent watchmaking pioneer Daniel Roth’s vision through its signature doubleellipse «ellipsocurvex» 18K gold case. The skeletonized dial reveals the automatic caliber DR101 movement while maintaining legibility through satin-finished chronograph counters.
Before establishing his brand, Roth honed his talents at Audemars Piguet and Breguet, where he revitalized the latter in the 1970s. This chronograph was produced in the early 2000s before Bvlgari’s acquisition changed the brand’s direction.
This very rare example comes complete with its original Daniel Roth fitted box and certificate. The hallmarks on the back of lugs are all clear and deep, while the case remains sharp and crispy. Overall in very good condition.
