Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon 3 Jubilee

In Context

At 43.5 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. At 15.5 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 50 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 50 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

5036420 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver dial with a platinum case. It was a limited edition.

Mechanical manual winding movement, 592 parts, 21,600 vibrations per hour, 2 barrels each with 48-hour power-reserve. Functions: hour, minute. Flying Gyrotourbillon®. Chronograph with an instantaneous digital display activated by a monopusher at 2 o’clock. Digital minutes display (from 00 to 59). Chronograph seconds indicated by a hand.
