Launched in 2012, the reference 5204 is the successor of the reference 5004, both exhibiting a perpetual calendar and split seconds chronograph. Comparing these two references together, one can easily recognize the inspiration of reference 5004 on reference 5204, but with the latter displaying a handful of upgrades while conveying its own merits.

To house the 32 mm movement CHR 29-535 PS Q, reference 5204 expands the case to 40 mm in diameter, significantly increasing its presence but still retaining the traditional look. This in-house movement features a double column wheel design with a horizontal clutch, increasing the stability of the watch while reducing the thickness. Perhaps the most distinguishable icon of the reference is its inverted moon phase, making it rather charming and aesthetically pleasing.
