The Daniel Roth Ellipsocurvex Papillon is a masterpiece of independent haute horlogerie, blending artistic design with mechanical ingenuity. Launched in 2005, this 18k rose gold limited edition (one of 210 pieces) reimagines the brand’s iconic ‘butterfly’ complication within its distinctive double-ellipse case.
Its magic lies under a curved gold cover. A central window reveals a jumping hour, while a “smile”-shaped aperture showcases the mesmerizing retrograde minutes: two opposing hands that sweep across a 120-degree arc before snapping back to zero. This poetic ballet is driven by the impeccably finished, self-winding DR115 caliber.
More than a time-teller, the Papillon is kinetic art. It represents a pinnacle of Daniel Roth’s inventive spirit, where a playful complication is executed with supreme technical finesse and housed in a case that is itself a sculptural icon of 1990s watch design.
丹尼爾羅斯 (Daniel Roth) Ellipsocurvex Papillon腕錶堪稱獨立高級製錶工藝的傑作，完美融合了藝術設計與機械巧思。這款18K玫瑰金限量版腕錶（全球僅發行210枚）於2005年推出，以獨特的雙橢圓錶殼重新詮釋了品牌標誌性的「蝴蝶」複雜功能。
其精妙之處在於弧形金質錶蓋之下。中央窗口展現跳時功能，而「微笑」形視窗則呈現令人著迷的逆跳分鐘：兩根相對的指針劃過120度弧線，最終歸零。這詩意的芭蕾由精雕細琢的DR115自動上鍊機芯驅動。
Papillon腕錶不僅是一枚計時工具，更是一件動態藝術品。它代表了丹尼爾羅斯創新精神的巔峰之作，巧妙的複雜功能以精湛的技術完美呈現，並被安置在一個本身就是 20 世紀 90 年代腕錶設計雕塑標誌的錶殼中。
