In Rolex-land, perpetual means automatic or self-winding, a term they've been using since the 1930's, when they invented and were the first to offer that type of movement. Anywhere else, perpetual typically means what you are alluding to, e.g. a perpetual or self-adjusting calendar.
I have the other two references in this family, 5227 and 5205, with similar curvaceous cases and scalloped lugs as the 5327. But this one, with that amazing blue dial, is unquestionably the ultimate version of the 3 siblings. Great pics and great watch!
I think it's a beautiful and distinctive piece, although I also believe it has been unfairly slighted out there - perhaps because it's misunderstood, I wonder?

As the saying goes, they don't make 'em like they used to. Well conceived, elegant, timeless. And, for the 5196 detractors out there, note how the seconds sub-dial is placed symmetrically between the center and the 6 on this piece - like on the 5196. Yes, a small movement is a valid consideration, b
But truth be told: a man lucky enough to own this work of art probably doesn't need to be on time : -). Congratulations on an extraordinary piece, cheers!
Hello, and interesting question. I think the Seiko Shippo enamel models like you posted have the 6R15 movement, which I believe beats at 21,600bph. That means 360 beats per minute and therefore 6 beats per second. Maybe the markers are 1/6th of a second to have the second hand jump at each beat to t
