Catalogue Essay
The 41mm platinum case exudes understated luxury, with its polished finish and refined proportions. The striking blue dial is a model of clarity and balance, featuring subdials for the day, date, month, and leap year indicators. The moon phase aperture with its meticulously detailed depiction of the lunar cycle, adds a poetic element to the watch’s functionality.
At the heart of this timepiece beats the self-winding caliber 2120/2802, a movement celebrated for its precision and reliability. The perpetual calendar complication is a marvel of engineering, automatically accounting for the varying lengths of months and leap years, requiring adjustment only once every 122 years. The movement is beautifully finished, with Côtes de Genève decoration and perlage, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback.
This reference 26000PT.OO.D028CR.01 is offered as a full set, including its original box, warranty papers, and documentation. A limited edition of 90 pieces made for the 30th anniversary of the manufacturer’s automatic perpetual calendar, the present watch is preserved in excellent condition.
