Description

I offer for sale my Paul Gerber Retrograd #5x in an 18k yellow gold case with signed 18k buckle, which I bought new from Mr. Gerber years ago. It is one of the last Retrograd watches that he made and is in excellent condition with no dings and only some light swirling around the bezel. This is an elegant thin profile watch from one of the early independent watchmakers.

Features:

- Dial blank made by Mr. Gerber and sent out for finishing and printing.

- Dial 18k gold numbers and hands made and finished by Mr. Gerber.

- Peseux Cal. 7001 movement modified by Mr. Gerber for his retro-seconds indicator mechanism which is made by him in his workshop. Its asymmetric cam requires extensive hand adjustment and finishing to accurately display the seconds throughout the seconds sub-dial arc.

- I have original box and papers.

Here is info from Mr. Gerber’s website:

Case yellow gold 18ct
Handwinding movement
Fly back retrograd seconds
Dial white with applied blue “Breguet” numbers (**18k gold on my watch**)
Fine leave shaped hands in blue (**18k gold on my watch**)

Blued screws
21 jewels
Power reserve 40 hours

Offered at US$18,500. I prefer payment by bank wire transfer. Shipping arrangement to be agreed, paid by buyer.

📖 About This Reference

The Paul Gerber Retrograd #5x represents the brand s approach to retrograde complications during the 2000s decade. This reference features a white dial configuration within the 35.6mm case format, distinguishing it through its specific retrograde display mechanism powered by a modified Peseux 7001 caliber. The 18k yellow gold case measures 35.6mm in diameter with a fixed bezel and sapphire crystal. Water resistance extends to 30 meters. The manual-winding movement utilizes a modified Peseux 7001 caliber delivering 40 hours of power reserve. The watch is completed with an alligator strap. This reference appeals to collectors focused on independent watchmaking and retrograde complications from the 2000-2010 production period. The combination of precious metal case construction, modified base caliber, and specialized dial display positions this piece within the technical complications segment of Paul Gerber s portfolio. The 35.6mm sizing aligns with period preferences for more compact case dimensions.
