Daniel Roth Ref. 2147 – Early 1992 18K Pink Gold Chronograph with Pink Guilloché Dial

A gorgeous and highly attractive early Daniel Roth chronograph reference 2147 in 18k pink gold, featuring a rare pink guilloché dial, manual-winding calibre 2320, and original certificate and box.

Offered here is a beautiful and highly collectible early Daniel Roth chronograph, reference 2147, dating to 1992 and representing one of the most appealing expressions of the watchmaker’s formative independent period. Combining a rare 18k pink gold case with a matching pink guilloché dial, this watch captures the refined aesthetic language and technical seriousness that made Daniel Roth one of the defining figures in the rise of modern independent watchmaking.

Daniel Roth is today recognized as one of the great watchmakers of his generation. After formative work at Audemars Piguet and, most importantly, his transformative role at Breguet, he established his own brand in 1987 and became one of the earliest master watchmakers to place his own name on the dial. With this step, he helped define the path later followed by so many independent makers. From the beginning, Roth introduced a highly personal design language, most notably the signature ellipsocurvex case, pointed hands, and finely executed guilloché dials.

This early reference 2147 is especially appealing for its combination of rarity, design, and movement quality. The 18k pink gold case is paired with a superbly attractive pink gold dial with hand-guilloché vertical pattern, giving the watch warmth, elegance, and strong visual individuality. Inside is the famed manual-winding calibre 2320, derived from the legendary Lemania CH 27 architecture that Roth had already refined during his period at Breguet and which would go on to power some of the most celebrated chronographs of Patek Philippe, including references 3970, 5070, and 5970.

Elegant, historically important, and representative of a pioneering moment in independent watchmaking, this Daniel Roth reference 2147 will appeal not only for its beauty and rarity, but also for the fact that it embodies the audacity and creative freedom of the era that helped shape the modern independent landscape. Accompanied by its Certificate of Origin, fitted box, and outer packaging, it is a highly attractive opportunity for the serious collector.
