ROGER DUBUIS La Monégasque Big Number Limited Edition

Posted on by

Introduced in 2011, The Monégasque “Big Number model”is distinguished by its black, red and green dial, colouration characteristic of the casino. Elegant and refined, this model in pink gold captivates with its subtle design as much as by its fascinating mechanism. Its contrasting dial, satin sunburst in the centre and circular outside, includes the two timer dials; the 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and the small seconds at 9 o’clock, echoing the style and charm of the chronographs of grand tradition.

Its elegant 44-millimetre case in pink gold is enhanced with a decorative bezel in black PVD lacquer. Only 128 watches have been made in this limited edition of the chronograph. Water-resistant to 5 bars (50 metres), it houses the RD78 micro-rotor automatic chronograph movement. Designed, developed and produced by the ROGER DUBUIS Manufacture, the RD78 chronograph calibre is representative of the generation of ROGER DUBUIS mechanical movements that marries aesthetic qualities and high performance, and is based on the most specialised production techniques.
