There are a few reasons why Roger Dubuis watches are so expensive. For one thing, the Swiss watchmaker invests heavily in research and development, which has allowed it to introduce some truly innovative timepieces over the years. From 2011 to 2015, Roger Dubuis introduced a series of standout designs, including the Quatuor RD101, the company's first watch with four sprung balances and five differentials to help account for the earth's gravity. In 2017, Roger Dubuis partnered with Pirelli and Lamborghini to release two luxury race car-inspired timepieces: the Excalibur Spider Pirelli and the Excalibur Aventador S. In addition to having unique designs, Roger Dubuis watches feature luxury materials, such as rose gold, cobalt and titanium. Due to their painstaking details, the timepieces take 350 to 720 hours to build from start to finish. As a result, Roger Dubuis generally produces only 24,000 watches per year on average. Demand often exceeds supply, contributing to the price. Explore a range of Roger Dubuis watches on 1stDibs.
