Roger Dubuis Sympathie S37.57.5

Roger Dubuis Sympathie S37 57.5 Observatory Chronometer 18k RG

Founded in 1995, Roger Dubuis is a watchmaker that has long been renowned for their avant-garde design, fine finishing, and individualistic aesthetics. The independent brand has since broken away from their more traditional roots and embraced the hyper-technical designs we see them employ today. The Sympathie ref. 37.57, however, is a beacon of the brand’s bold stylings that successfully emblazoned them across the horological community’s psyche in the late ’90s as a watchmaker with a unique sense of style and artistry. Constructed of 18k rose gold, the Sympathie’s 37mm case is a feast for the eyes. Featuring a vertical satin grain on the caseband and lug profiles with a contrasting high polish on the bezel, thick fixing screws, and lug hoods, the Sympathie is a finely executed timepiece with appreciable attention to detail. Aside from its case, the Sympathie’s dial also stands out as another unique piece of design. Featuring applied rose gold hour markers and quarter hour Arabic numerals alongside decorative detailing in its corners and a minute track in its center, this white dial, just like the rest of the watch, is a feast for the eyes and an expression of Dubuis’ talents as a watchmaker. THE DIAL Sporting a stunning white dial, this example's display harbors some elaborate finishing such as its detailing in its corners and the minute track and cross-hair that occupy its center. THE CONSTRUCTION With its elaborate 18k rose gold case providing a stunning backdrop for its intricate white dial, the Roger Dubuis Sympathie's construction is that of utter flamboyance and craftsmanship.
