Extremely rare and seldom seen, the present timepiece numbered '55' is an early masterpiece from the legendary independent watchmaker. Featuring Roth's iconic rounded tonneau-shaped case, the watch is crafted from 18k white gold and unusually features diamond settings throughout. The watch combines a jumping hours complication and retrograde once it reaches 6 o'clock, and impressive feat of engineering and watchmaking. Furthermore, this complication can thoroughly enjoyed from the complete skeletonization of the movement which has been meticulously hand-engraved on both sides.
