Here is a picture of the type of movement that I think is in that watch.
You can compare it with the watch you're looking at. It looks similar, I think.
The movement picture I post here is the RD56 which has a base movement of the Lemania CH2310. Patek also used this base movement in some of their own chronographs.
As far as price, the watch pictured (introduction circa 2002) had an original retail of $37K, however once RD started having problems with their distribution channels, the prices plummeted and could be found for half the original retail price. My advice is to check the normal retail and web sources to try and determine what watches in this category have sold for (not what people are asking) recently. Then, as I said earlier, a watch, or anything else, is worth whatever someone else is willing to pay for it.
Here is the dial side of the watch.
Is this a genuine RD?
Hi, wonder if there is price reference if I like to acquire it. Also, where can I find out more this model? The design is quite elegant not as flashy as present models.
It's really hard to tell from the poor quality picture but.............
It looks as though it could be authentic. They did make models in this style with these design elements. From what I can see from the movement, it looks like it could be authentic. I'd need better pictures or need to look at it in the metal to be sure. Th...
Original price as a reference
Thanks. Mel. Any idea this kind of RD chronograph was sold for that time?

It looks authentic to mee, too.
Even the back crystal is engraved. Dial and papers look ok. Here is mine....
Is this a easy driver or sympathie
Thanks. Any idea on the model number and functionalities? It looks like one of the sympathie but it is round in shape.
Couldn't find any Hommage in steel case
Thanks Radone. All Hommage chronographs I found are in precious metal but this one is stainless steel. Is this an anomaly? Besides, the paper says the diameter is 27mm but it is more like a 45mm to me.
It's definitely Hommage
and the 27mm diameter that the Geneve Seal certificate is referring to is the diameter of the movement. It's indeed a bit unusual to have SS case but you never know. Would you happen to have the 'other' certificate that came from RD which should detail th...
Photo of the watch is with the original message
Thanks. Jester. I will be count-offering to the seller next week. As the watch comes only with geneva and cosc certificates, but no other paper referring the original purchase, model number and functionalities, I need to research if there are any similar ...
A few more information
Hello, This watch is a Hommage 46mm in White Gold. The movement is well a RD56, a lemania based movement, also used by Patek Philippe, Vacheron and Breguet. The finishing is wonderful and very Haute Horlogerie with anglages and Colum wheel cap. This Homma...
stainless steel version of this model
This is very informative. Thanks. Were there stainless steel version of this model? Or in general were there Hommage models made of stainless steel? It is indeed marked 10/28 on the back. Seems many Hommage models were produced in a batch of 28 during the...
Hommage
The Hommage line has only been produced in precious materials such as Rose Gold or White Gold (I think platinum has been used only for a few unique pieces). From my knowledge all Hommage models were only limited to 28 pieces. Actually all the very early R...
I presume you're
referring to the chronometrique certificate by Observatoire National de Besancon instead of COSC? Both the Geneval Seal & the Besancon certificate should give you an idea about roughly when the movement was put together. As for the cost of service, be...
