Introducing Daniel Roth Continues Its Revival Journey with a New Rose Gold Edition

Following last year’s release of the Tourbillon Souscription in yellow gold, a limited edition of 20 pieces, Daniel Roth continues its revival with the introduction of the Tourbillon Rose Gold. This iconic tourbillon now debuts in a rose gold version, featuring a new guilloché en ligne dial.

Inspired by the original Tourbillon C187, designed by Daniel Roth himself, and the first wristwatch to showcase a large tourbillon on the dial, the Tourbillon Rose Gold exudes the much-admired “pink on pink” aesthetic beloved by watch aficionados. Both the case and the guilloché dial are crafted in 5N rose gold, creating a harmonious and luxurious appearance.

The timeless double ellipse case remains a defining feature, originally designed by Daniel Roth when he founded the company in 1988. This new version improves upon the classic design with enhanced ergonomics and a reduced thickness of 9.2 mm, an iconic element treasured by the brand's enthusiasts. The lugs, soldered by hand, have been subtly reshaped for a more comfortable fit. The crown, now bearing the Daniel Roth emblem, has also been redesigned for smoother manual winding. The Tourbillon Souscription is equipped with a solid case back secured by four screws.

The dial, made of the same 5N rose gold alloy as the case and skillfully polished, retains the distinctive features that Daniel Roth watches are known for. Interestingly, the dials for the new watches will exclusively produced by Kari Voutilainen, despite the brand’s acquisition of two dial manufacturing factories in Switzerland. This collaboration with the renowned Finnish watchmaker adds to the watch's prestige.

The guilloché is done by hand using a manually-operated straight-line engine that engraves each vertical line one at a time. To complement the rich pink of the dial, all the markings are printed in glossy black lacquer and paired with black-coated stainless steel hands.

While the earliest C187 models featured hobnail guilloché, which also appears in the Tourbillon Souscription, Daniel Roth later chose linear guilloché as a signature element of his brand, making it synonymous with Daniel Roth timepieces.

The tourbillon regulator, completing one full revolution per minute, also functions as a seconds indicator. The tourbillon cage is fitted with a three-armed seconds hand, with each arm varying in length to point to different segments of the seconds scale.

Powering this masterpiece is the manually wound DR001 caliber, the same movement used in the previous yellow gold edition. Beating at a frequency of 3 Hz, it offers a solid power reserve of 80 hours. The caliber is entirely produced at La Fabrique du Temps and undergoes meticulous hand-finishing to meet the highest standards. Although the movement was hidden beneath a gold case back in the Tourbillon Souscription, the Tourbillon Rose Gold features a sapphire case back, allowing the beautifully finished movement to be admired.

Continuing the rebirth of the Daniel Roth legacy, the Tourbillon Rose Gold will be individually numbered on the dial, starting from “21” in sequence with the Tourbillon Souscription, which was numbered from “01” to “20.” Due to the artisanal craftsmanship required for each timepiece, no more than 50 Daniel Roth Tourbillons will be produced annually.

The watch comes with a calfskin strap and its priced at CHF 155,000, or approximately 670,000 AED.
