HK_WATCHES_MAY16_208-217.indd 213 Launched in 2011, the present grande complication reference 5216 is the successor of the celebrated reference 5016. Combining minute repeating, perpetual calendar, tourbillon, retrograde date and moon phases, reference 5216 is one of the four most complicated models in current production. As opposed to its predecessor reference 5016 with a 36.8 mm. case diameter, the present watch is encased in a perceptibly larger case with a diameter of 39.5 mm. This amplifies the chime and enhances sonority and fullness of the tone. Housed in an incredibly powerful caliber, not only does the minute repeating enchant collectors, the tourbillon and perpetual calendar also provides extreme precision. The watch is further finished with a black dial with applied baton numerals and is superbly legible. Complete with all original accessories and presented in excellent overall condition, this present watch demonstrates a further level of sophistication in highly complicated wristwatches. To our knowledge, this is the first time a reference 5216 in platinum has appeared on the market. 03/05/16 17:03
