Exquisite Accessories With A Hint Of Chinese Heritage

Purchasing an elaborate timepiece is certainly a hefty investment. Yet, unlike other fleeting luxury indulgences, watches – if properly maintained – can hold if not increase their value. These prime examples of haute horology are also the perfect mementos to bequeath onto future generations. And what better way to ensure your legacy stands the test of time than to sink your cash into a chronometer equipped with the long-lasting perpetual calendar complication.
For the uninitiated, the perpetual calendar keeps hyper-accurate track of the day, date, and month without ever needing to be hand-wound. What’s more, it even takes leap years into account, with the finest such pieces capable of ticking on for centuries without adjustment. Intrigued? Then perhaps these seven standout timepieces below may tickle your fancy …

Blending an athletic appeal and timeless elegance with true aplomb is Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Polaris Perpetual Calendar. Housed in a 42mm pink gold case, this latest iteration of the revived Polaris sports watch line sees the brand’s 2013-debuted perpetual calendar calibre movement updated to churn out a lengthier 70-hour power reserve, while the moonphase indicator is now updated to showcase the stars from the southern hemisphere. Four subdials grace the cardinal directions of its blue fascia, showcasing the day, date, month, year and lunar phase.

A sleeker interpretation of this classic function comes in the form of German watchmaker A. Lange &amp; Söhne’s Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar “Terraluna”, a chronometer that cleverly uses both sides of its dial to showcase its many intricate complications. Here, the argenté-hued dial features three interlocking hour, minute and second subdials that together track the day, date and month. On the reverse, some elements of the calibre L096.1 movement peek out through the sapphire crystal caseback that is otherwise dominated by a prominent moonphase display.

Eschewing traditional colours for a more vibrant hue is IWC’s 100-piece Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition “Toto Wolff x Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team”, launched ahead of the June Formula One British Grand Prix of which the brand is a proud sponsor. Created to celebrate Toto Wolff – the mastermind behind Mercedes’ record eight consecutive constructors’ titles – its racing heritage is evidenced by the lightweight appeal of a proprietary Ceratanium alloy case, while the dial’s accents have been burnished in the team’s signature Petronas green.
The Naked Watchmaker x Frederique Constant Perpetual Calendar Manufacture Limited Edition
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-67602" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Make-a-date-with-one-of-these-fabulous-perpetual-calendar-watches-fredrique-constant.png" alt="Make a date with one of these fabulous perpetual calendar watches - fredrique constant" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Make-a-date-with-one-of-these-fabulous-perpetual-calendar-watches-fredrique-constant.png 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Make-a-date-with-one-of-these-fabulous-perpetual-calendar-watches-fredrique-constant-200x133.png 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Make-a-date-with-one-of-these-fabulous-perpetual-calendar-watches-fredrique-constant-600x399.png 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Make-a-date-with-one-of-these-fabulous-perpetual-calendar-watches-fredrique-constant-421x280.png 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Make-a-date-with-one-of-these-fabulous-perpetual-calendar-watches-fredrique-constant-120x80.png 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Make-a-date-with-one-of-these-fabulous-perpetual-calendar-watches-fredrique-constant-500x333.png 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Make-a-date-with-one-of-these-fabulous-perpetual-calendar-watches-fredrique-constant-400x266.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Meanwhile, a more vintage vibe is on offer from Fredrique Constant with The Naked Watchmaker x Frederique Constant Perpetual Calendar Manufacture Limited Edition, created in collaboration with educational resource foundation The Naked Watchmaker. Awash in heritage brown, its skeletonised domed dial affords direct views of the in-house FC-775 self-winding perpetual calendar movement, which offers a 38-hour power reserve. Limited to a release of 99 pieces, it comes with a relatively affordable price tag of €9,995.

Similarly open-worked, albeit in a more attention-grabbing 18K 5N pink gold case, is Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin Skeleton. An impressive feat of watchmaking, its innovative Calibre 1120 QPSQ/1 perpetual calendar movement is wholly skeletonised. What’s more astonishing is the thinness of the complex wristwatch is just a scant 8.1mm. Coming with pink gold straps as standard, buyers can also opt for tool-free changes to blue rubber or blue calf leather options as well.

For a more minimalist appeal, consider Glashütte Original&#8217;s new Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar, whose galvanised rose opaline dial is punctuated with a bevy of blue touches that allow easy viewing of the day, date and month apertures as well as the moonphase display at 8 o’clock. Fitted with a staggering 100-hour power reserve, sleek blue alligator leather straps round out the allure of this 100-piece release.

The final entrant on this list of prime perpetual calendar watches is none other than Patek Philippe. Its Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar Ref. 5374-300P is, simply put, an outré affair, prominently garnished with a plethora (241 to be exact) of sparkling baguette-cut diamonds along its case and bezel. Not only does its elegant blue dial proudly showcase the complex mechanism in all its glory, its self-winding calibre R 27 Q movement is also equipped with a charming chiming complication. A masterclass in the art of blending haute horlogerie with the watchmaker’s craft, it’s an apt new chapter for the legendary watchmaker who created the first-ever perpetual calendar wristwatch.

Sticking with the theme of artistic horological creations with unique dials is this sublime offering from Franck Muller, in collaboration with acclaimed artist, Hom Nguyen. The two have joined forces to produce this exceptional timepiece: the Cintrée Curvex Double Mystery with Tourbillon. Nguyen is a French painter of Vietnamese origin who is famed for creating portraits in a figurative style – clearly depicted in the watchface.
In place of hands, time is shown by rotating discs with the brand’s trademark double mystery complication. Completly hand-drawn and assembled in the purest watchmaking tradition, this timepiece is equipped with a manual winding mechanical movement and boasts a power reserve of 60 hours.

Also from Frank Muller and distinctly more ladylike – but still retaining a certain degree of quirkiness – is the Vangaurd Lady Heart. Playfully replacing the numbers ‘3’ through ‘7’ with a burst of tastefully designed hearts, this watch incorporates dynamic and graceful features. The collection is a tribute to femininity, with a poignant silhouette and a poetic dial. Shown on previous page are the red and pink iterations.

This month&#8217;s offering by Roger Dubuis takes us way back in time to the days of merry old England, the Knights of the Round Table MT Gold is as playful as it is historically accurate – and a beautifully crafted timepiece to boot – with each number on the dial replaced with a mini-sculpture of one of the aforementioned knights of King Arthur’s fellowship, from Lancelot to all the others.
The main material of the dial is gold and a matching case with sapphire crystal with a special anti-reflective coating open case back with a sapphire crystal pink gold bezel with a saphhire crystal crown with Murano glass. The clasp comes with a gold cover, with titanium blades – triple folding – interchangeable with an ingenious crystal release system.

Rounding out our set of six is the Tag Heuer Monaco V4. This racey little number was made famous when it first appeared on the wrist of action-man film star Steve McQueen duirng his appearnce in the 1970 film Le Mans. This revolutionary watch features four barrels mounted on ball bearings, pinions and belts. The timepiece displays its movement through its anti-reflective sapphire glass – revealing the intricate design features within, comprising tungsten ingot, linear mass and two pairs of barrels, that are mounted in parallel and cleverly connected by belts.

But while retailers across the world shutter their doors or open them only to serve a disappointing trickle of customers, auction houses have become virtual one-stop shopping destinations for people buying luxury goods across all categories, thanks to Zoom previews, online video condition reports, and easy online bidding. One particularly hot category is luxury watches – an industry that in 2018 was valued at some US$6.93 billion – and an equally hot destination is Hong Kong.

Hong Kong’s love affair with timepieces stretches back to the 16th century, when Jesuit missionaries first introduced such chronological accessories to the region. Across the intervening centuries, it has in turns been a manufacturer and exporter of watch parts, a hub for watch assembly factories, and finally, at the dawn of the 21st century, as a shopping destination for discerning timepiece enthusiasts.&nbsp;

The past decade has also seen the SAR transform into a huge auction hotspot for the&nbsp;sale of rare luxury timepieces, with leading auction houses like Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Bonhams and Antiquorum all hosting multi-million-dollar auctions in the city. What has resulted is a slew of ultra exclusive – sometimes even unique – watches going under the gavel for astronomical prices and setting new records.&nbsp;

In July alone, Sotheby’s Hong Kong sold a&nbsp;Rolex Daytona “John Player Special” Ref. 6264&nbsp;for more than US$1.5 million, a record price for that model, and Christie’s sold a rare&nbsp;Patek Philippe Ref. 5033&nbsp;minute repeater for US$1.95 million. In June, Phillips, in association with Bacs &amp; Russo, drew US$3.6 million for a&nbsp;Patek Philippe Ref. 1518&nbsp;from the collection of watch industry titan, Jean-Claude Biver. Sotheby’s further made headlines that same month by breaking a record it held since 2018 for most expensive modern Rolex ever sold. The lot was a platinum&nbsp;Rolex Daytona ‘Zenith’&nbsp;– a one-off creation featuring a Lapiz Lazuli dial – which went under the hammer at HK$25.3 million, five times its estimate.

Christie’s Hong Kong’s decision to differentiate it from the rest of the pack by offering it with its very own “The Masterpiece” sale led to a momentous occasion that birthed a&nbsp;new holder for the most expensive wristwatch ever sold in Asia at the auction house&#8217;s Autumn Auctions 2019,&nbsp;where the very first day of proceedings saw a rare 66-year-old pink gold 1953&nbsp;Patek Philippe Ref. 2523&nbsp;wristwatch getting sold for HK$70.2m,&nbsp; smashing last year’s record for the most expensive wristwatch sold at auction in Asia.

&#8220;Hong Kong has been the world’s biggest watch market for over a decade”

<div>Despite the coronavirus pandemic – as well as stiff competition from other auction hotspots like Geneva, New York and London – Hong Kong’s reputation for being a true haute horology hub shows no signs of abating. Take, for instance, the November 30 “Ruby Collection” auction, a Hong Kong sale of Patek Philippes from an esteemed single-owner private collection, highlighted by a pair of possibly unique (no one has ever seen them before) models: a perpetual calendar and minute repeater/tourbillon, both with ruby hour markers and estimated to sell for less than US$1 million each. The collection also includes astronomical watches, including the ultra-complicated&nbsp;Sky Moon Tourbillon Ref. 5002, with 12 complications, estimated to fetch from US$1 million to US$1.5 million.&nbsp;</div>

With countless luxury watch auction records set in the past year in Hong Kong, and with so many upcoming events to further enhance its reputation, it seems that neither its recent troubles or the coronavirus pandemic can even dent Asia’s World City’s reputation as one of the go-to auction hubs for discerning watch collectors seeking rare, otherwise unfindable statement timepieces of yesteryears.&nbsp;
