Description

The present watch is the Daniel Roth Extra Plat in Rose Gold, a refined continuation of the maison’s unmistakable double‑ellipse case signature. Respecting the heritage proportions that define Daniel Roth, the Extra Plat has been enhanced with a slimmer profile, measuring just 7.7 mm in thickness. The rose‑gold case retains its elegant, architectural footprint at 35.5 mm wide and 38.6 mm long, while lugs—shaped with softer curves and a downward angle—have been engineered for a more comfortable fit on the wrist. The warm tone of rose gold alloy amplifies the watch’s understated elegance, bridging traditional craft with modern restraint.

The two‑tone dial continues the traditions of haute horlogerie decorative arts. Crafted in solid white gold, it is adorned with a hand‑executed guilloché en ligne “pinstripe” motif, framed by a filet sauté border that subtly highlights the precision of the engraving. Black‑coated stainless‑steel hands echo the black typography of the Roman numerals, delivering crisp contrast against the luminous dial surface. The result is a quiet, sophisticated tension between the cool brilliance of white gold and the warmth of rose gold.

Through the open caseback, the calibre DR002 is revealed— manual‑winding movement developed and assembled at La Fabrique du Temps under the supervision of master watchmakers Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini. While visual cues were maintained from the DR001 tourbillon calibre, the DR002 was engineered from the ground up specifically for the Extra Plat collection. With only 3.1 mm of movement thickness, 143 components, and 21 jewels, the DR002 balances modern performance with ultra‑thin elegance, while still offering an ample ~65 hours of power reserve.

A calfskin leather strap completes the piece, reinforcing its restrained dress‑watch character. In this rose‑gold execution, the Daniel Roth Extra Plat stands as a purist’s statement: a signature case refined, a handcrafted guilloché dial.
