Specialist note

Reference 5513 was introduced simultaneously with reference 5512 but with the difference of a non-chronometer movement.

The present watch is however an interesting transitional version, already fitted with the dial featuring the white printing and designation "Superlatively Chronometer Officially Certified" and a calibre 1570 movement. Its homogenically bleached bezel now displays a rich grey tone, rendering it a very appealing look.
