Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Céleste White Gold / Blue

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 13.42 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 is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 48 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

Q5273480 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. Introduced in 2020. Beyond the time it carries a tourbillon.

Mechanical manually-wound movement, 334 parts, 28,800 vibrations per hour, 48-hour power-reserve; indications for hour, minute, flying tourbillon, celestial map, signs of the zodiac, month, 24-hour indication..
