€ 88.000 (excl. VAT)

A remarkable and visually striking expression of independent haute horlogerie, this Daniel Roth Perpetual Calendar Moon Phase wristwatch exemplifies the brand’s distinctive design language and technical ambition during the 1990s—an era widely regarded as the golden age of Daniel Roth’s creative independence.

Crafted in 18K white gold, the watch is housed in the manufacture’s signature double-ellipse case, a form that has become emblematic of Daniel Roth’s work and instantly recognizable among collectors. The dial displays a beautifully balanced perpetual calendar layout, complemented by a prominent moon-phase indication, all executed with exceptional clarity and refinement. The harmonious proportions, finely printed numerals, and elegant hands reflect Roth’s deep respect for traditional watchmaking aesthetics, while asserting a bold and individual identity.

Powered by an automatic movement, the perpetual calendar mechanism precisely tracks the day, date, month, leap year, and lunar cycle, requiring no manual correction until the year 2100. The combination of mechanical complexity and sculptural case design places this reference among the most compelling perpetual calendar wristwatches of its generation.

Preserved in excellent condition and offered complete with its original accessories, including the Daniel Roth Certificate of Origin, booklets, fitted presentation box, and outer packaging, the present example represents a highly desirable opportunity to acquire a complete and historically important piece from one of independent watchmaking’s most influential figures.
