Beautiful backs...

I very much admire the hunter backs of my 5227's in rose and white gold....the best hinge integration I have seen on such a case.  Wish more brands build cases with the best of both solid and transparent backsides.

I am a big fan of hinged case backs. Nice photos, my dear friend.

Very charming feature, I have it on a Calatrava 5089 and it is simply a lovely addition!👍 Excellent duo.

Very nice shots! The integration of the flap does not add much thickness, great execution! Does one know why it is called a hunter caseback? Best, E.

The hinge is hidden so well and it is a joy to open up the secret door to examine the movement ! ...  

Reference?

…I was curious as I don’t remember seeing a hinged back with a 240 movement : )

Hi Matt, yes they are indeed rare but we have some examples -- here's another one from the 175th Anniversary, which is in Italy but I finally found a picture of the case back (ref. is 5089G-020 in wood marquetry)👍
