Daniel Roth Chronograph Lemania Movement Rose Gold Silver Dial 38mm Ref. 2147

Daniel Roth stands as a titan of independent watchmaking, renowned for his architectural approach to case design and unwavering commitment to haute horlogerie. The Ref. 2147 chronograph exemplifies his philosophy, marrying the legendary Lemania 2310 ébauche—a movement celebrated for its column-wheel precision and lateral clutch—with Roth’s signature double-ellipse case. This 38mm iteration in 18k rose gold presents a harmonious proportion that sits elegantly on the wrist, a testament to Roth’s belief that a watch should be both a technical instrument and a work of art. The silvered dial, adorned with applied rose gold indices and subsidiary registers, offers a legible yet refined canvas that ages with grace.

At the heart of this masterpiece beats the Lemania 2310, a manual-winding chronograph movement of historic provenance, finished to Daniel Roth’s exacting standards with Côtes de Genève, perlage, and hand-beveled bridges visible through the exhibition caseback. The column-wheel mechanism ensures crisp, tactile actuation of the chronograph functions, while the 18k rose gold case features the distinctive stepped bezel and sculpted lugs that define the Roth aesthetic. The silver dial features a subtle guilloché texture at the center, contrasting with the smooth sub-dials at 3 and 9 o’clock for 30-minute and running seconds counters. Blued steel Breguet-style hands sweep over the applied numerals, enhancing the vintage-inspired elegance.

This exceptional example is presented as a full set, accompanied by its original box, papers, and documentation, confirming its authenticity and provenance. The case retains sharp hallmarks and crisp finishing, indicating careful preservation over the years. The movement has been recently serviced by our certified watchmakers, ensuring optimal performance and a healthy power reserve. As Daniel Roth’s early independent pieces become increasingly sought after by connoisseurs, the Ref. 2147 represents a compelling acquisition for the discerning collector—a rare fusion of Lemania’s robust chronograph heritage and Roth’s visionary design language.
