Daniel Roth Le Sentier – Stainless Steel Grey Guilloché Dial

Details

A Study In Double Ellipse Geometry

Daniel Roth is a pillar of modern independent watchmaking. This Ref. S177 utilizes the brand's unmistakable double ellipse case, a design that sits perfectly between a circle and a rectangle. It's a silhouette that defines the brand's identity and represents a departure from traditional horological constraints. The grey-beige roman dial provides a neutral, focused aesthetic that emphasizes the unique case architecture rather than distracting from it.

The Legacy Of An Independent Pioneer

This watch belongs to an era where Daniel Roth was carving out a new path for high-end watchmaking. After his tenure at Breguet, Roth brought a specific, technical elegance to his own label. The S177 is a testament to that vision. It's a piece that rewards the collector who values design over brand ubiquity, offering a level of hand-finished detail and geometric complexity that was rare for its time and remains distinctive today.

Condition And Reality

The watch is in very good overall condition. The double ellipse case has retained its sharp, defined lines, and the grey dial is clean and well-preserved. There are no significant flaws or damage to report. All components are original to the piece. Mechanically, the movement is running strong after passing our test bench and is performing exactly as expected.

Why It Works

This is a watch for the individual who wants to step away from the predictable choices of the secondary market. It works because it's instantly recognizable to those in the know, while remaining subtle enough for daily wear. The grey palette makes it exceptionally versatile, fitting easily into a modern wardrobe. It's a rare opportunity to own a piece of independent history that still feels fresh and relevant.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
