The perpetual calendar is one of the most intricate works of art in haute horology. Unimaginably complicated, chock full of useful information and packing some serious watchmaking heat, the perpetual calendar is a true grail for many of us. And being able to wear one every day makes the magic of the perpetual calendar just that much more special. So, we've put together a handful of perpetual calendars from the holy trinity of watchmaking that you can wear all day every day. Enjoy!
Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar
The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar reference 4300V/120G-B102, features a white gold case with matching bracelet and a clean grey dial. The monochromatic look is offset by the beautiful deep blue of the moonphase at the bottom of the dial, along with blue text on the dial and chapter ring. Subtle yet effective.
Patek Philippe 5740 Nautilus Perpetual Calendar
Arguably the king of the all-metal wearable perpetual calendars, the Patek Philippe 5740 Nautilus Perpetual Calendar is undoubtedly as iconic as it is desirable, featuring a stunning calibre, a generational case design and an air of supremacy that other pieces just seem to inherently lack.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar China Edition
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar China Edition was made in a limited run of 88 pieces and was released exclusively to China and Hong Kong boutiques. Clad in titanium and strapped to a matching bracelet, a grey alligator leather band or a red rubber strap, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar China Edition pairs exclusivity with sheer wow-appeal.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked Black Ceramic
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked Black Ceramic is easily one of the most sought after watches in the world, and for good reason. It is, inexplicably and undeniably one of the most beautiful, captivating and scintillating pieces of haute horlogerie in recent years.
Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar
Clad in pink gold and strapped to blue alligator leather, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar, reference 4300V/000R-B509, is a delightful enigma of colour and complexity. I prefer the look of the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar on a strap rather than the bracelet, too.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar White Ceramic
Audemars Piguet loves to play with novel and contemporary materials, such is the case with the white ceramic encased Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. While I prefer the openworked black ceramic version, I do feel that the closed-dial white ceramic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar looks a more striking package than its closed-dial black ceramic compatriot.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar
A platinum cased Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar with a matching platinum bracelet and an icy blue dial, this specific model of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is a true unicorn of haute horlogerie. Tough to find, tougher to buy, the platinum Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is by far one of the coolest perpetual calendars on this list.
Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar
Another pink gold Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar, this time with a luscious pink gold strap. I do rather the blue dial reference, but at the same time this piece does have the benefit of a silvery white dial that works to complement the warm look of the pink gold case and bracelet.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar
A solid yellow gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar with a matching yellow gold bracelet? Um, hell yeah! Pair it with a blue "Grande Tapisserie" dial and what you get is a watch, a grail and an heirloom all wrapped in one.
