At first glance, it appears to be a center seconds model with a date and day/night indicator, but you'll notice that the window at 6 o'clock features a city name.
The model name "Aura Mundi" means "World Time" in French.
This model features a new worldtimer mechanism designed by modern Breguet.
Following the release of the 5717 in 2011, which features a dial depicting the world's continents and oceans using stamping and hand-engraved guilloching, the 5727 with a guilloched dial was released this year.
