Detail
The 5135G-001 Super Clone stands apart from the crowd, offering a sophisticated alternative to the ubiquitous round sports watch. Housed within a distinctive 38 x 51 mm tonneau-shaped 18K white gold case, this timepiece pays homage to the Art Deco era while delivering modern mechanical excellence. The polished white gold finish exudes a cool, understated luxury that pairs perfectly with formal attire.
The dial is a masterclass in information management. The grey-toned surface provides a neutral, elegant backdrop for the array of complications. At a glance, the wearer is greeted by the annual calendar displays: day at 10 o'clock, month at 2 o'clock, and date at 12 o'clock. This "Gondolo Calendario" layout ensures you never lose track of time. Below, at the 6 o'clock position, a beautifully rendered moon phase display sits harmoniously above the 24-hour indicator, adding a touch of romanticism to the technical display.
Unlike sport models with integrated bracelets, this piece embraces tradition with a black alligator leather strap featuring square scales. The strap is secured by an 18K white gold pin buckle, ensuring the watch sits elegantly under a shirt cuff. The screw-down crown and caseback add a layer of durability to this dress watch, while the sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment ensures the grey dial remains legible in any lighting.
Powering this complexity is a high-grade automatic movement with 45-hour power reserve and 34 jewels. The movement features a stop-seconds function for precise time setting, mirroring the functionality of the top-tier manufacture calibers. For the collector seeking a watch that transcends trends and offers genuine horological depth, this 5135G-001 Super Clone is a timeless addition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the "Gondolo Calendario" design?
The "Gondolo Calendario" refers to a specific line of watches known for their tonneau (barrel) shape and calendar complications. This design is distinct from the more common round watches, drawing inspiration from the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 30s. The 5135G-001 captures this vintage elegance but updates it with a modern, sophisticated grey dial and a highly functional annual calendar movement. It is a watch for those who appreciate history and mechanical complexity over sporty trends.
How does the annual calendar function work on this 5135 Super Clone?
The annual calendar is one of the most practical complications in watchmaking. Unlike a standard date function that needs to be corrected five times a year (for months with fewer than 31 days), the annual calendar on this 5135G-001 automatically adjusts for 30 and 31-day months. It only requires manual correction once a year, at the end of February. The dial displays the day, date, and month clearly, making it a highly useful tool for the busy professional.
Is the white gold case suitable for everyday wear?
While 18K white gold is a precious metal, the 5135G-001 is designed with a robust screw-down crown and caseback, offering better protection than many ultra-thin dress watches. However, with a water resistance of 25 meters, it is best suited for office environments, social gatherings, and formal events rather than swimming or heavy physical labor. The black alligator strap adds to its dressy nature, making it the perfect companion for business suits and evening wear.
