For years, Frederique Constant have been quietly making elegant, understated watches at good values. Here, Frederique Constant isn’t holding back in showing how they value in-house-made movements with high-end finishing, and it doesn’t hurt that this one comes in an attractive package.
When learning about the new Vacheron Constantin Traditionelle Chronograph Perpetual Calendar, the first question on my mind was: “just how new is it, really?” In other words, after we saw the manufacture release a number of rather lust-worthy pieces in recent years, how excited will the world of watch enthusiasts and collectors get this time?
Patek Philippe’s mastery over the perpetual calendar complication is unmatched, and for 2016, Patek Philippe is bolstering the ranks of its numerous perpetual calendar watches with the new Perpetual Calendar 5496P-015 in platinum.
