Master Grande Tradition Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar White Gold / Blue Enamel / Alligator

In Context

At 43 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. At 13.7 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and 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 winds itself from the motion of your wrist. Its 38-hour reserve wants wearing most days; leave it off and it stops. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

Q52334E1 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a blue dial with a white gold case. It was a limited edition. Beyond the time it carries a perpetual calendar and a minute repeater.

Self-winding movement consisting of 585 components including 76 jewels, indicators for year, perpetual calendar, date, hour - minute, may, month, moon phases, red setting security zone. Minute repeater. Height 8.48mm.
