Introduction
The Reference 5374 Grand Complication with
minute repeater and perpetual calendar combines
technical excellence and elegance in a new
white gold version with a Grand Feu blue enamel
dial featuring a glossy finish. The case shape is
distinguished by its subtle interplay of curves and
its concave bezel. The minute repeater with its
"cathedral" gongs wrapping almost twice around
the movement is distinguished by its rich, deep
sound.

The minute repeater
On demand, the minute repeater strikes the hours,
the quarter-hours, and the minutes that have elapsed
since the last quarter-hour. One hammer strikes the
hours on the low-pitched gong once for each hour.
Subsequently, each quarter-hour is sounded as an
alternating double strike by two hammers on both
the high- and low-pitched gongs. Finally, the second
hammer strikes the high-pitched gong to count the
number of minutes that have passed since the last
quarter-hour.
12 low strikes, three double high-low strikes, 14 high
strikes: This constitutes the melody with a total of
32 strikes at 12:59.
