Finally, a dream realised 😀

Like many of us the Dufour chronograph was a long standing target for me. Not the black dial of the aforementioned but still with plenty of warmth and personality. I too had to sell a couple of nice watches to make this dream metal!
I welcome my fellow Purists thoughts on this new addition!

You have the most amazing chronograph

Not only is it the (probably) best chronograph available

but it is one of the best watches of any kind you can own. Big congratulations.

Huge congrats, it feels good to realize a dream!.......

I chased a rose gold Datograph like the one you have for a number of years before I settled on the standard version. I don't know if you have ever compared the two but your piece feels lighter and more wearable on the wrist. So good choice on that beauty,... 

Super, congrats on the addition and on making the hard decisions of letting some others go so you could add this.

I really like this case-dial combination, as I do the "Dufourograph".

Thanks Jay!

I think I’m at the stage where I can’t add something without letting something go. I’m not sure what will now be my next grail watch though... perhaps a Patek 5905???

I think some of just cheat on this though, let me buy the new one and then I'll sell the others (and the others don't get sold!).

5905 would be a nice one. I very much like the dial layout (calendar display specifically) of the 5905, 5960 etc. Give some love to that Dato before thinking too hard about the next one.

An iconic timepiece!

This colour combination is not appreciated enough

Personally I prefer it to the rose/black combo

Perhaps Philip Dufour could only find a black dial version???🤔

I’ve never seen a black dial version but I’m sure I’d love it just the same!
