Lot Essay
Before Roger Dubuis became a global brand name, he was simply a watchmaker—and a very good one. He spent years in the complications department at Patek Philippe, one of the most demanding workshops in the world. When he finally launched his own brand in 1995, he brought that experience with him. His early watches were classical, beautifully made, and produced in tiny numbers—just 28 pieces per variant in the Hommage collection. This is one of them.
The Hommage Quantième Perpétuel is a perpetual calendar, which means it knows the length of every month and handles leap years without ever needing correction. The dial keeps things elegant and readable: date at 5 o'clock, moon phase at 7 o'clock, and the day and month side by side at 12 o'clock. A brushed silvered dial with Roman numerals gives it a clean, timeless look.
The 34mm white gold case is classically proportioned and very wearable. Inside beats the Calibre 5739, an automatic movement carrying the Seal of Geneva—the same prestigious hallmark found on the finest Patek Philippe movements of the era. For Roger Dubuis, that was essential.
