Daniel Roth Unveils The Extra Plat In Rose Gold: A Masterclass In Discreet Luxury

Following the successful return of the Extra Plat in yellow gold earlier this year, Daniel Roth continues the evolution of its core collection with the introduction of the Extra Plat Rose Gold, now offered in 5N rose gold. This marks the second iteration of the model under the revived brand, emphasizing continuity, refinement, and artisan-level finishing.

Classic Daniel Roth Architecture in Warm Rose Gold

The case geometry remains faithful to the original Daniel Roth design language, characterized by the distinctive double ellipse silhouette. Measuring 38.60 mm by 35.50 mm and with a thickness of just 7.70 mm, the Extra Plat retains its status as a classically proportioned ultra-thin dress watch.

Crafted in 5N rose gold, the new case material introduces a warmer tone that complements the soft, traditional curves of the case. The rose gold finish elevates the formal character of the watch, while maintaining a discreet presence on the wrist.

A Showcase of Finishing: Open Caseback and DR002 Movement

In a departure from the earlier closed-case Souscription editions, the rose gold Extra Plat features an exhibition caseback, offering a full view of the manual-winding caliber DR002. Developed in collaboration with La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, this movement is exclusive to the Extra Plat and tailored to fit its curved, double-ellipse profile.

The DR002 stands out for its meticulous hand-finishing: polished anglage, sharply executed interior angles, and a tactile winding mechanism that reflects the attention to detail found in traditional haute horlogerie. Although slim, the movement offers a robust presence thanks to its architectural bridges and balance wheel positioning.

Hand-Decorated Dial With a Two-Tone Composition

The dial of the Extra Plat Rose Gold sets itself apart with a subtle two-tone layout. Its foundation is a solid white gold base, adorned with guillochage en ligne—a hand-executed linear guilloché technique that gives the surface a refined, striated texture reminiscent of early Daniel Roth pieces.

Surrounding the central motif is a rose gold chapter ring, harmonizing with the case material and anchoring the black Roman numerals. The hands, finished in black-coated steel, provide sharp legibility and a classical counterpoint to the guilloché surface, without resorting to luminescent materials. The dial execution is crisp, cohesive, and demonstrates thoughtful layering.

Availability and Positioning

Unlike its limited-edition Souscription counterpart, the Extra Plat Rose Gold enters the catalog as a non-numbered production model, available through select authorized retailers. Priced at CHF 49,000, the watch represents the next step in the structured growth of Daniel Roth’s revived collection.

Our Opinion

Just as the Daniel Roth Extra Plat in Yellow Gold Souscription had already captivated us, the new Rose Gold version confirms all its beauty—built on the same solid foundation, yet distinguished by a different set of refined details. We’re not only talking about the more obvious changes, such as the warmer case tone and the revised guilloché pattern, but also about the open caseback that now reveals the beautifully finished manual-winding movement inside. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference, but choosing between the yellow and rose gold versions is less about better or worse, and more about choosing between two expressions of timeless elegance and exceptional taste.
