A treasure from the 1990s, this Tourbillon Skeleton embodies the enduring design language of Daniel Roth, most notably through its signature double-ellipse case that has become synonymous with the brand’s identity. Representing the earlier chapters of the Daniel Roth story, the early 1990s is widely regarded as the most desirable period among collectors. The present watch showcases a fully skeletonised movement that has been meticulously hand-engraved, allowing every mechanical detail to be admired from the front. The dial features elegant dot hour markers paired with traditional blued steel hands, creating a refined contrast against the intricate architecture of the movement. At 6 o’clock, the tourbillon carriage takes centre stage, offering a captivating display of horological craftsmanship and technical mastery.

The visual appeal continues on the reverse side, where the case back is every bit as impressive as the dial. Here, an additional display presents a circular date indication alongside a distinctive fan-shaped power reserve indicator. Marked with “BAS” to denote a depleted mainspring and “HAUT” to indicate full power, the power reserve display adds both functionality and charm. Combined with the beautifully finished movement visible through the case back, these features highlight the exceptional attention to detail and artistry that define this remarkable Daniel Roth timepiece.
