This model belongs to a series of complicated watch by Blancpain from the 1990’s, the so called ‘Six Masterpieces of the watchmakers art;. Among those rare watches is a minute repeater, split second chronograph and this rare Perpetual Calendar wristwatch. The watch is powered by the automatic caliber 5453. The beautiful shaped yellow gold case is a piece of art on itself. Worth noting is that the case is made by Jean-Pierre Hagmann, the famous Geneva case maker who worked for Patek Philippe (the ref 2499), Vacheron and Blancpain.
