Steeped in classicism, BLANCPAIN’s<br />
(blancpain.com) Villeret Quantième Perpétuel<br />
6656 also got a makeover in a limited edition<br />
with a sunray blue dial. Restricted to 88<br />
pieces, the slim, solid platinum version is<br />
exclusively available in the brand’s boutiques.<br />
Not one but three new perpetual calendars<br />
based on models from the past feature in A<br />
LANGE & SÖHNE’s (alange-soehne.com)<br />
latest offerings, including the Langematik<br />
Perpetual Honey Gold. And in April, the<br />
brand further flaunted its technical expertise<br />
by unveiling a silver anniversary limited<br />
edition, commemorating the modern<br />
relaunch of the brand in 1994, with the<br />
Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar 25th<br />
Anniversary comprising 25 pieces in white<br />
gold with a blue-printed argenté-colored dial.<br />
Last year, CHOPARD (chopard.com)<br />
revisited its super-complicated LUC Allin-One,<br />
which debuted in 2010 to mark<br />
the brand’s 150th anniversary. Two new<br />
redesigned limited editions in rose gold and<br />
platinum feature dual dials, with perpetual<br />
calendar and tourbillon on the front and<br />
astronomical functions on the back, making<br />
the All-in-One the most complicated watch<br />
that the brand has ever built.<br />
While perpetual calendars traditionally<br />
have been dress watches, old-school rules no<br />
longer apply. GIRARD-PERREGAUX’S (girardperregaux.com)<br />
Laureato Perpetual Calendar<br />
introduced the complication into the brand’s<br />
sporty steel model, originally launched in the<br />
1970s. The unusual asymmetrical dial layout<br />
features different sized sub-dials displaying<br />
date, day and leap year, while the month<br />
appears in an elongated aperture across the<br />
bottom of the clous de Paris textured dial.<br />
