Daniel Roth is a watchmaking company based in the Vallée de Joux and in Geneva, in Switzerland. Daniel Roth founded his own manufacture in 1989, with workshops in Le Sentier and Geneva. Daniel Roth is known for his complex timepieces, such as a tourbillon with 8-day power reserve or the Westminster Grande Sonnerie Carillon. In 2000 the Daniel Roth watchmaking company was bought by the Bulgari Group. The workshops are in Le Sentier and in Geneva and are shared with their sister company Gerald Genta.
The dial consists of different skeletonised layers, which reveal the intricate details of the perpetual calendar. The wonderful engraved plate presents a marvellous background to the various layers and gives the dial a fantastic depth. In 1999 the list price was DM 120,800.
