Similar to the Condottieri in Style

Just found a Roger Dubuis for sale here in Brazil! The watch has an enamel dial, very similar to the Condottieri, unfortunately the movement is a regular RD57 (Lemania Base). The watch has a central seconds instead of the small seconds and it has Breguet Styled Hands! I tried to find more information on that piece, but was not able any, not even a picture of that exact watch!

The watch comes with all the documents and papers, including the Besançon Certificate saying Mr. Dubuis was the regulator of that watch! It comes with an original Ostrich Strap and Crocodile Strap and with a white gold case cover, for the owner to cover the caseback if wanted.
How was the factory of Roger Dubuis in 1997 when this piece was made? Did he have very few employees? How many watches was he making back then? How was the finishing on that piece?

Do you guys believe this watch would be a add into the collection of someone that wants to focus its collection on independent brands? 
I was wondering what is your opinion on that watch?


Best,
Fernando Bandeira de Melo

Edit: I just noticed the Observatory tested the piece but it appears this test is the COSC style test not the Observatory Chronometer test (which is a completely different, and longer test with stricter limits) therefore I'll say that if you like the piec...
