    -Equipped with a perpetual calendar complication, the watch effortlessly tracks the day, date, month, moon phases, and leap years, requiring no adjustment until 2100. This complex mechanism is powered by the self-winding Calibre 2120/2802, which is renowned for its reliability and precision. The transparent case back provides an unobstructed view of the movement’s intricate workings, further highlighting the artisanal craftsmanship that goes into each timepiece.

Offered in excellent overall condition complete with its original certificate and presentation box, this stunning example is sure to be to be catching eyes.
