With three apertures on the top of the dial indicating day, date and month, the legibility is further enhanced through a perfectly symmetrical dial layout. With moon phases at 6 o’clock and an additional two apertures one on each side indicating day/night and leap years, it is an easy to read and charming Grand Complication timepiece.
