The 5135 models are annual calendars that are part of the Gondolo collection.  The 5135 case is a work of art in its own right; it's a complicated multi-part case that has significant platinum heft to it.  The parts have to be made with utmost precision for the pieces to close in on one another, it is not a typical screw-back or snap fit rear case.  The 5135P in platinum is the top version of this watch, in addition to being made of 950 platinum it features a very special detail; two reasonably sized diamonds on the dial at 3 and 9 o'clock position.
