The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Sunrise Double Tourbillon has no less than 108 radiant gems and is fully skeletonized. Design, size and unknown price are perfectly in line with the Swiss brand. So, what you get is a bold, high-end, big-size, open-worked watch for the price of a new Ferrari. With comparable tech, here with a double tourbillon. And with a lot of precious stones.
The 45-millimeter pink gold case is adorned with baguette-cut gems arranged in a sunrise gradient. 72 on the bezel, 27 on the astral signature, and 9 on the flange. But as it is a skeletonized watch, it’s not that shiny, as there is not much else to see. Well, almost, because you can’t overlook the two tourbillons.
The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Sunrise Double Tourbillon has a power reserve of 72 hours
It’s not the first double tourbillon by the brand. Just take a look at the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Double Flying Tourbillon and you will see much similarities. Where one tourbillon fights the gravity in order to make your watch run more accurate, you might expect that two tourbillons double that effect. However, no one knows. It might contribute to even more precision, but moreover, it’s just mesmerizing to look at.
Anyway, the watch has a better resistance to magnetism thanks to titanium and cobalt-chrome tourbillon carriages. And the two tourbillons are linked with a differential directly connected to the second wheel of the gear train. This for a better transmission of the energy. Resulting in a power reserve of 72 hours.
Extreme movement finish
There are 17 types of finishing used on the movement, which leads to a Poinçon de Genève certification for this watch. Meaning that each surface of every component must be hand-decorated to the highest standard. Just look into the watch to admire the work.
The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Sunrise Double Tourbillon comes on a black calf leather strap with quick release system. It is secured with a pink gold cover with titanium triple folding blades. The watch is limited to 8 pieces with a price around 400,000 depending on your currency.
