This 5013 represents an extremely rare opportunity for the discerning collector to acquire this masterwork of modern horology.

Further to our research, a detailed count reveals that the present reference 5013 is one of only 6 examples in yellow gold to have reappeared on the market since its introduction in 1992. Furthermore, the present example has never been offered at auction before.

With the production of reference 5013 ceasing in 2010 and the extreme rarity this lot represents, scholars and collectors will agree that this icon belongs in any important collection of modern wristwatches today.
