Roger Dubuis

My favorite is the La Monegasque Club piece

Jul 31, 2014,09:18 AM
 

Love the La Monegasque Club piece, although it's too large at 44mm. Would be better at 40-42mm, especially given the cushion case which always presents as larger on the wrist than a traditional round case. But of course, size is a personal matter. Otherwise it is a stunning, sensual piece with lots of character and disparate elements that blend well together. And although I don't know anything about its technicals, the movement is a genuine beauty. Even the leather strap is very nice (RD has always had amazing attention to detail).

Other pieces are nice too, but the La Monegasque Club piece really grabbed me.

The rose gold ultimate luxe piece with pave diamond dial, bezel and bracelent should have come with a rose gold rotor. That struck me as a point of incongruity. Such a special and undoubtedly expensive piece deserves a solid gold rotor. The solid gold rotor would be nice on other pieces as well, but it's not as critical to my eye as on this particular piece.

Thanks for the pics and the presentation.

Cheers,

John

Thanks John. Agree with you , the RG Ultimate luxe piece, if the rotor is in rose gold, it does make a more congruent picture. The La Monegasque Club is one handsome piece in metal... you will have to see and try it on. Size is still alright to my petite ...
