Catalogue Note
Ref. 5496 was launched in 2011 as the modern replacement for the classic Ref. 5050. Both the original and the newer version are beloved by collectors for their attractive and legible dials. The layout of the dial, with its minimized apertures and retrograde date display, conveys a great deal of information in an easy-to-read display, while retaining a clean, understated and extremely elegant aesthetic.
