The Watch: The Roger Dubuis Golden Square is one of the maison’s boldest and most distinctive collections, embodying the dramatic design language that defined the brand in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This reference, the G40, features a 40mm square case in 18k white gold—large, but executed with Roger Dubuis’ characteristic elegance. The Roman numeral dial layout is a signature flourish, radiating from the center and emphasizing the geometry of the case.
As with all Roger Dubuis timepieces from this period, the watch carries the Geneva Seal, attesting to its finishing standards. The movement is hand-finished to exacting haute horlogerie norms, with Geneva stripes, polished bevels, and strict tolerances. The outer rim of the rotor carries an engraved hand script reading Mr RD's motto: "Nous souhaitons toujours créer des montres actuelles, inspirées mais pas soumises au passé, qui se projettent dans un futur qui nous appartient." Translation: "We always wish to create timepieces of today, inspired by, but not subject to, the past which projects itself into a future that belongs to everyone."
This example is from an open date warranty card set, making it even more appealing for collectors of early Roger Dubuis. With the brand’s resurgence in the market, these Golden Square pieces are gaining renewed recognition as icons of independent watchmaking from its formative years.
Condition: Excellent pre-owned condition, showing only light signs of wear consistent with careful use. The dial, crystal, and case are all clean. Running well.
Includes: Full set: box, papers, and open-date warranty card.
