Roger Dubuis Sympathie

About this reference

The Roger Dubuis Sympathie S34 in 18k pink gold was produced during the mid-to-late 1990s as part of the brand’s inaugural era under its founder. Collectors prioritize this reference for its 34mm "Sympathie" case, characterized by a squared profile with integrated, pointed lugs and a faceted sapphire crystal. The model typically houses the Caliber RD 57, an automatic movement based on the Lemania 8810, featuring the Geneva Seal and chronometer certification. Dials often feature sector layouts or Roman numerals with "Bulletin d'Observatoire" text. Production was strictly limited, frequently to 28 pieces per configuration. On the secondary market, these watches generally trade between $15,000 and $25,000 depending on condition and original documentation. A notable variant includes the "MuchMore" transition pieces, though the S34 remains distinct for its specific proportions and its role in establishing the brand's early independent identity.
