Strong lines, distinctive accents and bold features are assets within every Roger Dubuis collection, and the Velvet collection naturally has its unique design DNA. Graphic dials in relief on two levels create a depth effect while elongated Roman numerals and appliques emanate from the centre. The lugs are highly elaborate and designed to fit seamlessly onto a round or barrel shaped trompe l’oeil case.

This high jewellery model is studded with a total of 304 diamonds inlayed using the invisible-type setting, which hides the claws holding the gems, simulating a magnified look. Its white gold case is covered with 138 baguette-cut diamonds in 24 different sizes, while its dial has a further 136 diamonds in 50 different sizes. To top it all off, it has two unique cut-to-measure cushion-cut diamonds of about 0.4 carats decorated on the strap attachments (12 and six o’clock). Its black satin-finish strap has a white gold adjustable folding buckle set with 30 baguette-cut diamonds. Limited to 28 pieces only, this watch has a 36mm case that’s water resistant to 30m.

Not just stunning on the outside, the Velvet High Jewellery is also profoundly beautiful internally. Decorated with the prestigious Poinçon de Genève, the in-house manufactured self-winding Calibre RD821 is visible through the exhibition case back, and it wears this accolade proudly on the oscillating mass.

Variations of the Velvet include white gold with brilliant-cut diamonds, pink gold with pink gold bracelet, and a bold black PVD steel model studded with black diamonds and amethysts. Indulging in your inner diva has never been more delightful.
