The DB27 "La Romanée 1865" watch features a burgundy dial complete with a recreation of the constellation in the sky overlooking "La Romanée" on harvest day on September 12, 1865 which produced an exceptional vintage. The sky map is created from tiny white gold pins delicately inserted one by one. It is powered by the Auto V2 automatic calibre, with a caseback inscribed with the name of the vintage.
