The differences between 5204 VS 5951
Jul 30, 2012,06:28 AM
Right we've got two Split Second Perpetual Calender Chronographs here: The 5204 (and it's Lemania-based predecessor the 5004) and the 5951.
Can someone explain the difference between these two pieces (aside from the obvious about shape and look etc).
The 5951 is almost twice the (already very very substantial) price of the 5204 and from what I heard in the Geneva boutique, they've delivered only 10 pieces since it was first released...
What's the story then as, theoretically at least, they do the same thing - split seconds chrono and perpetual calender display.
Any ideas/information?

and both are based on two very different movements (as mentioned by Dje before). Ref. 5204, cal. CHR 29-535 PS Q vs Ref. 5951, cal. CHR 27-525 PS Q The latter is smaller and thinner and the approach is different - VERY limited production, because of VERY ...
Thanks to both Oliver & Moritz.........
