5050

and here’s how to fix it. The dial is top heavy. Also the moonphase register would look much better (like the later version of 5050) if the circle were completed and closed. Also balance would be added to the dial if something were written in the lower cu

and very well-balanced. I understand that the Roman numerals here are not for everyone. But I find this configuration stunning and, yes, it is extremely rare (14 known, among which one belonged to Reginald 'Pete' Fullerton Jr: full story here: https://www

Not only it is a beautiful vintage PP perpetual calendar but also this retrograde date is a small detail that adds a lot I think. There are actually 2 versions of 5050 one with Roman numerals (the version that you are presenting here above) and another di

This configuration of 5050 (Platinum with Roman numerals - if confirmed in certificate and no later service dial) makes the watch one of the rarest pieces. Personally, I also like the look and feel of this timepiece a lot. But the above is an objective cr

...as I am a big fan of hobnail bezels and the ref. 5050 retrograde PC. A couple of things. It is fairly thick for such a dressy, elegant watch. Also the movement is a bit small. They try to 'hide' it with the hobnail on the back of the case. As a result

So much to love here. No wonder you enjoy the wrist time so much. Your 3495 seems to have small lugs: isn't it usually a lug-less reference? 5050 & 2545 are the ones which attract me the most from these photos, but showing any preference feels stupid at t
