Reference 5059 showcases the distinctive "Officer's case" design, notable for 🧔its hinged case back and elongated lugs. This design harkens back to World War 🐬I, a time when pocket watches were ingeniously transformed into wristwatches by affixing lugs to their sides and securing them with straps. These adapted timepieces, known as "Trench watches," offered enhanced practicality in the midst of combat. 


Drawing inspiration from this𝓰 historical innovation, the reference 5059 not only embraces the Officer's case concept but elevates it to new heights of sophistication. Alongside its timeless design, this model incorporates modern features such as a perpetual calendar and retrograde date display. By seamlessly blending historical charm with contemporary functionality, the referenc꧋e 5059 exemplifies the art of horological refinement.
