I had not been in there since the renovations of a few years back.
Now these are what I call 'heavy metal'!!!!!!!
First up is the PP 5074P Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar with cathedral gongs:
You can listen to the gongs by clicking the You Tube link below. Sadly, I could not embed the video in this most:

Please follow the link below. You can see the gongs at work here............

Next up is the 5207P Hours, minutes, small seconds, instant perpetual calendar in windows (day, date, month, leap-year, day/night indicator) and moon phases, minute repeater with tourbillon:
I was allowed to take a photo of the upstairs salon:

You gotta love the Nautilus collection!
