Full-Cataloguing
In 2014, the firm released few rare examples of the ref. 5271P with various gem set variants, including emerald, ruby, sapphire and diamonds. The reference was the first to feature a glossy black lacquer dial constructed in twelve layers. They differ from the second series examples of the regular ref. 5270, the dial no longer features the “double chin” at 6 O’clock. The present example set with rubies is one of the most desirable examples of the reference as the pigeon blood red contrasts extremely well against the glossy black dial giving the reference a vibrant appeal.
Presented in single-sealed condition and accompanied by its full set of accessories, the present ref. 5271/12P-001 is a superb compilation of haute horlogerie and jewellery with its alluring baguette-cut Ruby bezel and index at 12 O’clock, adding a dynamic flair to this model.
