Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar 5213

In Context

At 40.6 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. 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.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 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.

5213G-001 is one of 3 executions of the 5213G base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a silver dial and a white gold case. Introduced in 2012. Beyond the time it carries a perpetual calendar and a minute repeater.

Mechanical self-winding movement with minute repeater and perpetual calendar with retrograde date hand. Day, month, leap year in apertures.
