Daniel Roth Le Sentier S177 - Stainless Steel Grey Pinstripe Guilloche Dial

Trade In
Details
A Foundation Of Independent Watchmaking
Before independent watchmaking became a market phenomenon, Daniel Roth was one of the original pioneers. After reviving the aesthetic of Breguet in the 1970s and 80s, he established his own workshop in Le Sentier. The brand was built around his signature "double-ellipse" case, a design that was neither round nor rectangular, but something entirely new. This S177 is a pure expression of that foundational vision, capturing the unique geometry and uncompromising design that made Roth a pillar of the independent scene.
The Art Of The Pinstripe Dial
This example stands out for its cool, monochromatic colorway. The dial features a sharp grey pinstripe guilloché, a texture that gives the watch a tailored, formal feel while remaining understated. The silver and grey tones create a subtle but compelling visual effect, enhanced by the unique case shape. It is a dress watch that is confident in its design, relying on shape and texture rather than flash. The date indicator at six o'clock maintains the dial's clean symmetry.
A Sharp And Honest Example
The watch is in very good condition. The unpolished stainless steel case retains the crisp, distinct lines of the iconic double-ellipse design. The grey pinstripe guilloché dial is clean, and its intricate pattern is well-defined. The watch shows light signs of wear consistent with careful use over the years. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Collector Who Knows
This is a watch for someone who appreciates the history of modern independent watchmaking. The Daniel Roth name carries significant weight among serious collectors, and this Le Sentier model is a perfect entry point into his world. It offers a truly distinct wearing experience, far removed from the mainstream choices. Its elegant proportions and iconic case shape make it a sophisticated and intelligent choice that works just as well today as it did in the 1990s.

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….
