Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar 5304 Rose Gold / Skeleton

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 12.9 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. 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. 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.

5304/301R-001 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a skeleton dial with a sapphire case. Beyond the time it carries a perpetual calendar and a minute repeater.

Self-winding movement with minute repeater and perpetual calendar with retrograde date hand.
