Tourbillon Platinum
Crafted in platinum, with a white gold dial and pinstripes guilloché. Calibre DR001.
The Tourbillon Platinum elegantly elevates the collection with one of the rarest material
Sharing the same design codes as previous DANIEL ROTH creations, the use of platinum introduces an added sense of rarity that already defines the collection.
Long regarded as one of the most noble materials in watchmaking, platinum demands exceptional skill and specialised tooling to shape.
Each case requires up to three times longer to craft than its 18k gold counterpart.
Tourbillon Platinum
A Dialogue between Tradition and Innovation Through the DR001
Developed in 2023, the DR001 is the shape movement developed specifically for the Tourbillon collection and maintains the signature double-ellipse case shape.
Each of the 206 components is finished in-house by hand, under the supervision of Master Watchmakers Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini.
A sapphire crystal reveals the movement's artistry through an open caseback, showcasing the hallmarks of Swiss haute horlogerie.
The Art of Guillochage
Platinum, one of the most demanding metals to shape, underscores the dial’s discreet yet artistic complexity. The dial of the Tourbillon Platinum is crafted from solid white gold and finished in an anthracite hue, serving as a canvas for the pinstripe guilloché. Each line is meticulously engraved by hand using a traditional straight-line engine in La Fabrique du Temps guillochage workshop.
“Naturally, the esteemed reputation of platinum makes it irresistible. When it came time to animate the Tourbillon in a white metal, one thing was certain; it had to be platinum.”
- Matthieu Hegi, Artistic Director of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton
The chapter ring in 925 sterling silver reflects the refined aesthetic of the Maison. Completing the composition, the signature “moustaches” carry the DANIEL ROTH name and the individual watch number, subtle details that embody the dedication to timeless craftsmanship.
