Catalogue Note

With a Roger Dubuis Certificate and a presentation box with outer packaging. 

Due to the high rate of failure when painting miniature enamels, their use within wristwatches is very scarce and usually only seen when part of a small limited series. Made in an edition of 28 examples featuring the area of Oceania, each individual colour on the dial must be fired in an oven separately.
