Roger Dubuis Hommage La Placide Biretrograde Perpetual Calendar Watch

As a tool for recording time, the real charm of a watch lies not only in its functions, but also in the emotions and stories it carries. The Roger Dubuis brand launched a limited edition watch Hommage La Placide this year to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the brand’s founding. It also used founder Roger Dubuis’ childhood nickname “Placide” as the name of the watch, which shows that the brand attaches great importance to the founder and the past years.

The movement of this watch is RD1472, which is a classic of the brand. The complexity and precision of the movement are top-notch in the watchmaking industry. It can be seen that Roger Dubuis has spent a lot of effort in this regard. The day of the week and date on the watch are retrograde indications, which are both beautiful and interesting. There are moon phase and month indicator dials at 6 o’clock and 12 o’clock respectively. In this way, the entire dial has a large amount of information, but because of the proper design, it does not feel cluttered.

In terms of movement, the thickness of the RD1472 movement is only 5.3 mm, but it is assembled from 307 parts, has a vibration frequency of up to 28,800 times per hour, and also provides a 48-hour power reserve. This is already a very good result among mechanical watches.

The Hommage La Placide Biretrograde Perpetual Calendar watch not only has outstanding performance in terms of movement, but is also stunning in appearance. This watch is made of 18K rose gold case, with a diameter of 38 mm and a thickness of 11 mm. It is a size that is very suitable for Asian wrists. Moreover, this watch is also waterproof to 30 meters, so you don’t have to worry about minor accidents in life causing damage to the watch.

The most eye-catching thing is the touch of blue paint. Blue represents nobility and elegance, while paint represents luxury and art. This watch uses mother-of-pearl as the base material of the dial, and is embellished with blue aventurine. The entire dial seems to sparkle with a charming luster like a starry sky. Paired with the hands and hour markers made of 18K rose gold, it pushes the sense of luxury to the peak.

Limited edition of 28 pieces

This Hommage La Placide bi-retrograde perpetual calendar limited edition watch is only issued in 28 pieces. Each one is a unique work of art. Such scarcity is simply an irresistible temptation for collectors. And its price tag is also very affordable. Compared with some top luxury brands’ watches that cost millions or even tens of millions, this limited edition of 115,000 euros (approximately RMB 850,000) is still very cost-effective.

The Roger Dubuis Hommage La Placide Biretrograde Perpetual Calendar watch is a work with both internal and external accomplishments. It perfectly combines traditional watchmaking craftsmanship with modern technology. It not only inherits the brand’s classic movement, but also gives it new vitality.
