Roger Dubuis Oversize Calendar Retrograde in White Gold with Full Set of Box & Papers - Limited Series
A rare and imposing Roger Dubuis "Much More" Reference M3457400 in 18k white gold, confirmed by the caseback engraving as piece number 2 of only 28 produced. This Limited Edition brings the classic elegance of the early 2000s Roger Dubuis aesthetic to its most complicated expression, housing a complete bi-retrograde calendar with moon phases within the brand's signature oversized rectangular white gold case. The massive case proportions and bold numeral graphics create an immediate and commanding presence on the wrist, perfectly matched by the original black crocodile leather strap. The piece is offered with its original box and papers.
The bi-retrograde calendar complication, in which the date and day hands sweep forward across their respective scales before snapping back to the beginning at the end of their cycle, is one of the most visually dramatic complications in watchmaking. Roger Dubuis deployed it with characteristic boldness in the "Much More" case, where the oversized rectangular format provides the canvas necessary to display the multiple calendar indications with maximum legibility and visual impact. The Calibre 5740 is a movement of genuine complexity and quality, entirely in keeping with the manufacture's commitment to in-house production at the highest level. With only 28 examples made and this being piece number two, the documentary and collecting significance of this watch is exceptional. The complete original set of box and papers further elevates its status as a reference-quality example of Roger Dubuis at his most ambitious.
