Extra Plat Rose Gold Gilt
Daniel Roth has introduced a new variation of its Extra Plat model, featuring a rose gold case and a true gilt dial with a black electroplated finish. This dress watch maintains the collection's signature double-ellipse case and slim profile, powered by a manually wound movement developed at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. The intricate dial technique involves masking gold sections before electroplating, revealing the underlying rose gold for the markings.
- The dial is a true gilt dial, not printed gold tone.
- The dial features hand-executed pinstripe guilloché.
- The watch is powered by the manual-winding Calibre DR002.
- The movement is developed and assembled at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton.
- The watch has a 65-hour power reserve.
- The case is 38.6mm in diameter and 7.7mm thick.
- The case is made of 5N rose gold.
- The watch has 30 meters of water resistance.
A true gilt dial is made by galvanically coating the entire dial in black after masking the positive markings, revealing the base metal underneath.
The case measures 38.6mm x 35.5mm and is 7.7mm thick, crafted from 5N rose gold with an ellipsocurvex profile.
The double ellipse shape makes the watch wear slightly larger than its stated dimensions suggest.
The gilt method exposes the dial material beneath a coated surface treatment for indices and dial markings.
The dial finish is a multi-stage process starting with a solid 5N rose gold plate and applying a pinstriped guilloché.
The dial begins with a solid gold base decorated with pinstripe guilloché before numerals, signature, and minute track are masked.
The dial is made of gold, first finished in an exquisite pinstripe guilloché made by an artisan using a traditional rose engine.
The gold for the markings is underneath the black surface, not on top, achieved by masking the solid gold dial base with varnish.
