The replica grand-complications 5159 white delivers a perpetual calendar housed in white gold, faithful to one of the most refined dress complications ever produced. The 5159 features a classic officer-style hinged caseback, retrograde date display, and moon phase indicator positioned at six o’clock. This timepiece bridges traditional watchmaking aesthetics with complex calendar engineering, presenting day, date, month, leap year, and lunar cycle on a clean white dial. Every detail serves a purpose, from the hand-finished Breguet numerals to the railway-style minute track running along the perimeter.

The officer-style caseback adds a tactile, vintage quality that collectors appreciate when examining the movement beneath.
