The present watch is set with 48 baguette-cut diamonds weighing a total of approximately 4.30 carats.

Founded in 1995 through an alliance between the watchmaker Roger Dubuis and designer Carlos Dias, the Swiss manufacture quickly thrived through its balance between traditional watch making and striking designs.

Far from being solely an aesthetic choice, all Roger Dubuis timepieces bear the prestigious Geneva seal. Part of the very few companies to reach such an esteemed status, the manufacture self-produces their movements, cases, follows strict assembly guidelines and tests.

Powerful embodiment of style and technical mastery, the present wristwatch is part of the prestigious Excalibur collection. Crafted in an 18 karat white gold case set with 48 baguette-cut diamonds weighing a total of approximately 4.30 carats, the watch is further equipped with a highly complicated skeletonized double tourbillion movement.

With only 28 pieces made, the present timepiece is fresh to the market and represents an extremely rare opportunity for collectors.
