Roger Dubuis La Monegasque Flying Tourbillon

La Monégasque Flying Tourbillon features one of the finest complications in fine watchmaking. The watch is the latest model from Roger Dubuis, belonging to the masculine line La Monégasque. It is designed with the idea to offer watch enthusiasts the most prestigious of all complications, the one that also improves the precision of a watch - the tourbillion placed at the slightly off-centered position, appearing at 7 o’clock.

The watch is crafted in pink gold, offered in 44-mm case, and sealed against the ingress of water to 50 meters. The dial reveals sivered central disc with sun-brushed finish and two large apertures – one for the tourbillon and the other for contemporary-styled power reserve indicator. The Arabic numerals, arranged along the curve of time, are crafted in pink gold and outlined in black. Large date window dominates the upper portion of the dial.

Everything is animated by the hand-wound RD540 mechanical movement, entirely made by hand and shown through the see-through window on the back of the case. The movement is built on 239 components, running at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) with a power reserve of 60 hours. The watch is produced in a limited series and, like all other Roger Dubuis watches, it meets the new criteria for Geneva Seal.
