Default What size breaker and wire for a 5200W wall oven?

As you stated your oven have two settings one is for bake and other to Broil.
I am sure you can use one or the other but "NOT" both at the same time!
At the broil rough estimate of current would be 13-14 Amps.
On the bake again rough estimate current will be 9-10 Amps.
This is base on 220 power source, number 12 wire would be sufficient enough.
Likewise the breaker 20-25 Amps ok. Two poles!!
Your white wire is for lights and possible outlet if it has one€¦
