Catalogue Essay
The 5250 Advanced Research model was the first of the revolutionary Advance Research series. There have been three subsequent references, where upgrades have been made to the movement based on the use of Silicium or Silinvar. The reference 5250 cased in white gold and fitted with an annual calendar mechanism was the first in the series and was made in a limited edition of 100 examples only and released to the market in 2005. The movement of the present reference has an escape wheel made of Silinvar, which does not require any lubrication.
The present watch, complete with all accessories, is the most sought after of the Advance Research series and has been kept in original condition.
