Voutilainen Retrograde Date Ref. 217QRS – Pink Gold, Blue Guilloché Dial, Limited Edition of 10

A very fine and exceptionally rare Voutilainen Retrograde Date reference 217QRS in 18k pink gold, featuring a blue guilloché dial, manual calibre 28, original accessories, and numbered 9 of a limited edition of just 10 pieces.

Offered here is a very fine and rare Voutilainen Retrograde Date, reference 217QRS, a highly exclusive creation from one of the most admired independent watchmakers of the modern era. Founded by Kari Voutilainen after years spent restoring and studying some of the finest watches of the last three centuries, the brand has become synonymous with extraordinary craftsmanship, traditional finishing, and an uncompromising level of artisanal execution. Today, Voutilainen’s watches are widely regarded as among the finest expressions of contemporary independent haute horlogerie.

The present 217QRS builds upon the success of the maker’s celebrated Vingt-8 platform, adding a beautifully integrated retrograde date complication while preserving the balance, elegance, and refinement for which Voutilainen is known. Produced in exceptionally small numbers, the model was issued in platinum, pink gold, and white gold, with only 10 examples made in each metal. This watch is numbered 9 of 10 in pink gold, making it an especially rare opportunity for the serious collector.

Its solid silver dark blue dial is a particular highlight, hand-finished with three distinct guilloché patterns that animate the surface with shifting tones and depth as the light moves across it. The applied Arabic numerals and Breguet-style hands stand out clearly against the richly textured dial, while the arched retrograde date indication is seamlessly integrated above the small seconds display, creating a highly organic and visually harmonious composition. The overall effect is at once technically sophisticated and artistically restrained.

Encased in 18k pink gold and fitted with sculpted lugs, the watch is powered by the manual-winding in-house calibre 28, visible through the sapphire case back. The movement displays the same devotion to craft seen on the dial side, with beautifully executed finishing and a rich variety of decorative patterns. Offered in excellent overall condition and accompanied by its original certificate, guarantee booklet, additional straps, travel accessories, fitted wooden presentation box, and outer packaging, this Voutilainen 217QRS is a rare and highly compelling independent watch not to be missed.
