Roger Dubuis "Much More" Rose Gold Perpetual Calendar Limited Edition of 28 Pieces
I was like a kid admiring his new tin toy!! This watch was assembled in 2003, and sent to COSC for accuracy measurement in 2004, and left Roger Dubuis watch house on Jan 2007. Total 28 pieces made and this one of them. HK Snob

I like the white dial with blue hand...anyway, what is reason there is small pink hole at the 3 o'clock?
Hi Bok Sim,
The small hole at three o'clock posiiton is the indicator for leap year. This is a mechanical jumping for date 30 to 31 and more difficult is on leap year Febuary from 28 to 29. All perpetual Calendar watches will have to automatically jumping on this special day onec 4 years. Imagine how they can do that, of course it is a piece of cake for my Citizen Quartz Perpetual Calandar repeater but a challenge for mechanical watch. That is why a Perpetual Calendar watch is Expensive from Cheapest HKD$150,000.00 onwards...
This watch is entirely hand made and the dial is Salmon colour, matching perfectly with the Rose gold... And this size is one of the biggest, but the actual Space for the mechancial engine is not too much as it is curved profile across the length of it, to match with your wrist. So this is another challenge. It is Genvea Sealed, and was adjusted to 5 positions, This watch was made on 2003, and pass for Chronometer centre for Qualification, then sent to RD for casing on 2006, and tested and checked on 2007 before Shipping to the hand of their customer....
And so this is a an expensive watch to me...
