De Ville Tourbillon Co-Axial Platinum / Skeleton

In Context

At 38.7 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. 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. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 45 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer.

513.93.39.21.99.001 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a skeleton dial with a platinum case. It was a limited edition. Beyond the time it carries a tourbillon.

Self-winding movement with Co-Axial Escapement. Anthracite galvanic treatment movement with spiral pattern, hand polished bridges and mechanisms, platinum oscillating weight. Central tourbillon cage rotates completely once every minute, offsetting the effect of gravity on the performance of the watch. Officially certified chronometer. Bridges, barrels and main plate are skeletonised.
