New Release
Emmanuel, known as quattro on WatchProSite, offers a detailed comparison of the new Daniel Roth Extra Plat Rose Gold with Pinstripes guilloché dial against its Yellow Gold Souscription predecessor. His initial impressions, based on extensive imagery, highlight the aesthetic differences and the newly visible caliber DR002. This article delves into the nuances of these modern interpretations of the original reference C107, inviting readers to consider how design choices impact a watch's appeal.
The guilloche dial of the souscription model is indeed sumptuous (you have selected very beautiful photos of both versions which give justice to them and enable to have a quite good idea). I was lucky enough to try the new version in the metal few days ago and although it is also quite beautiful tbh, I am by far more convinced by the Souscription one... But I am sure that the ones that will acquire the latest version will be very happy too, it is also a very very nice piece
I can imagine what you say as watches are almost always more beautiful in reality than on photos!
Of the coherent design language established by Daniel Roth. Much more so than most other brands of the time. And the watches are truly beautiful, too 👌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻
…I would have preferred yellow gold. Odd that it’s not as thin as the previous version…
And these reinterpretations have a true charm (and a gorgeous movement: Barbasini and Navas, who also helped designing Laurent Ferrier’s micro rotor, really know how to make a beautiful caliber). Best, Emmanuel
as the original C107 had an automatic caliber. But I guess it’s due to the wonderful depth of the manual wound new caliber. Barbasini and Navas, have made a similar choice when helping to design Laurent Ferrier’s micro rotor: the beauty of a caliber with depth must not be sacrificed for the sake of thinness. Just my guess, btw. Best, Emmanuel
