The Sympathie Bi-Retrograde Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon
The Roger Dubuis Sympathie Bi-Retrograde Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon ref. S40 2002, which features a mother-of-pearl dial is very rarely seen.
The white gold case measures 40 x 40 x 15 mm (51 mm lug-to-lug).
Even this lovely Abyssinian cat is mesmerised! ;-)
The watch is powered by manual winding caliber RD 2002, which is adapted from LJP7912 and finished to Geneva Seal standards. To see it ticking, just click here.
It clearly wears large and isn't for every wrist.
It was made in a limited edition of only 28 pieces.
The example below, no. 20/28, was sold by Antiquorum (three photos below).

A pink gold version, also limited to 28 pieces, was also made.

Too thick (15 mm!) and probably not easy to wear on all wrists, this watch may not be perfect, but I still find it attractive.
The distinctive “Sympathie” case shape, the MOP dial, the movement design: there's a lot to admire, here, imo.
What do you think?
Best, Emmanuel

“Unapologetic” is well said!
And, yes, it’s wonderfully executed in its own way. Best, Emmanuel
Absolutely !
But I wonder if I don’t prefer the WG with this particular mop dial… I would have to see them in real life to be sure. Best, Emmanuel
If they feel shiny and bling-bling in person, I don't think I will be attracted to them.
Let's wait and see how I feel if I ever have the chance to see one...
We like what we like and that can’t really be changed…
Here, this is my choice, but as they say: “ Different horses for different courses”.
I'm in love. I didn't know this version but, oh my, it's gorgeous.
Yes it's thick but so are my wrists, lol. I'd wear it. Thanks for this informative post, Emmanuel. M4
I'm really glad you like it too. Everything is so special here:
case shape, dial, movement... Best, Emmanuel
Such a unique case shape and complications layout
Works for me in any metal, any dial material!
I really like these RDs a lot .
I have a bigger wrist so no problems for me to wear a beauty like this
Then, your only problem would be to find one!
These 28-piece limited editions aren't the easiest to catch, but it might be possible. Best, Emmanuel
