Daniel Roth Extra Plat Rose Gold Skeleton
Luxferity, 21.01.2026
An intimate revelation of mechanics and artisanal mastery, unveiling the latest chapter in haute horlogerie.
The Renaissance Of A Horological Icon
From the atelier floors of DANIEL ROTH, the new Extra Plat Rose Gold Skeleton emerges not merely as a watch but as a mechanical manifesto of refined simplicity and elevated craft. Conceived in the spirit of La Montre Objet d’Art, this openworked reinterpretation conserves the classical proportions of its forebear while revealing the radiant intricacies of its calibre DR002SR, developed exclusively for this edition.
“Opening the movement allows its elegance to speak in a new way, while remaining faithful to Mr. Roth’s earliest ambitions and attachment to traditional high watchmaking.”
— Matthieu Hegi, Artistic Director, La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton

Heritage Reimagined
For connoisseurs following the renaissance of the Maison, this skeletonised interpretation signifies a watershed moment — the Extra Plat was never skeletonised during Mr. Roth’s foundational era. This evolution is not disruption but authentic continuation of a narrative woven from proportion, clarity, and discreet sophistication.
Craftsmanship On Display
At its core, the calibre DR002SR is a technical gallery of rarefied craftsmanship. Manufactured entirely in-house at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, this movement reinterprets traditional architecture with reshaped bridges and plates designed for luminosity and structural poise. Components in solid 18k 5N rose gold contrast with black-polished steel, manifesting an aesthetic that speaks to both heritage and avant-garde finishing.

Artisan Finish: A Testament To Human Skill
Skeletonisation is an exercise in reduction and revelation. Internal angles — achingly crisp, shaped only by hand — celebrate the artisan’s touch, echoing the meticulous finissage that defines haute horlogerie today. This dedication to traditional technique resonates with recent editorial explorations of skeletonised innovation, such as the Franck Muller Vanguard™ Revolution 3 Skeleton and Piaget’s Piaget Polo Skeleton — each pushing openworked design into new expressive terrain.
Technical Elegance
Though transparent in spirit, the DR002SR remains steadfast in performance: a free-sprung balance beating at 4 Hz, an ample 65-hour power reserve, and a double-ellipse case measuring a slender 6.9 mm. A warm calfskin strap and sapphire crystal caseback complete the wear experience — where intimate mechanical revelation meets refined restraint.

Why The Extra Plat Skeleton Matters
In an era where luxury narratives increasingly hinge on both tradition and innovation, the Daniel Roth Extra Plat Rose Gold Skeleton stakes its claim with eloquence. It is a testament to the Maison’s lineage and to an artisanal ethos that values mastery above novelty. For aficionados of high watchmaking and collectors alike, this timepiece is not simply an acquisition but a declaration of taste and cultivated discernment.
Other recent Luxferity features exploring excellence in skeleton watchmaking include the elegant Zenith DEFY Skyline Skeleton and the avant-garde Louis Vuitton Voyager Skeleton, each illustrating how transparency and structure elevate mechanical narrative.
