Stopped by the TH Boutique in Harajuku Tokyo, they had a new LE for the Japan market. The red color and "Tokyo" on the strap makes it unique.

So.... what's the difference between the CAR5A54 and the CAR5A51?

I'm guessing that since the 54 is a 1 of 1 edition, there must be some small detail change on the dial since the last character in the reference is for the dial.

Yeah, probably one is black and the other one is 'almost' black....🙄

Not sure what the story is with that MikroTourbillonS. The "standard" watch goes for just over $100k

https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/jackroad/item/2753162/

The "1" in CAR5A51 signifies steel, which with these watches usually means a steel centre case, with Gold sides and lugs. Never knew that the standard model had elements of steel in the case. "4" denotes Gold...so must be a pure Gold case. Quite why you'd go and make two versions of an almost identical watch that are very, very low volume any instance I don't know!

@Calibre11 - I understood that the 3rd character after the letters (the 5 highlighted above) is the case material, where:

1 = Steel;
2 = Two-tone;
4 = 18k Gold;
5 = 18k Gold / Steel;
8 = Titanium; and
9 = CMC or Ceramic.

The 1st character is the type of movement (5 = auto chronometer);
The 2nd is size (A = Magnum); and
The 4th is the dial colour/finish.

Yes, you're right..I mis-read the Catalogue 😬. So the last digit is dial colour...but this looks the same to me?

I agree, but if it really is a 1 of 1 edition, maybe there is some tiny change on the dial that can't be seen in the screenshot above..... just a thought.

I think there are two different watches in that info found by Hubert:


I would say the picture on the left is the “standard” MikrotourbillonS CAR5A51:

And the pictures on the right are from the “1 of 1” CAR5A54. It seems there’s one additional gold bezel on the 54, the power reserve indicator is also different, and even the tourbillons have some different parts:

Good eye Albert!
Here's a better image, based on what the boutique sent out.
