Many perpetual calendar watches are so crowded with information—the time, day, date, month, moon phase, leap year, etc.—that they’re all but impossible to read. Not so the new Toric Quantième Perpétuel: P.F’s purposeful design uses dual coaxial displays to convey all the essential information using just two sub-registers. The result? A supremely legible watch with plenty of negative space—so much, in fact, that it takes a second (careful) glance before one realizes that it is, in fact, a QP. Available in rose gold or platinum each 50-piece limited edition is sure to be snatched up by eager collectors who value the brand’s unique design sensibilities and horological mastery.
Measuring 40.6mm in diameter and just 10.9mm tall, the Toric QP’s thick polished lugs and beautiful fluted bezel surround a handsome, hand-grained dial in powder blue (platinum) or gold tone (rose gold). The movement, which is largely constructed of rose gold and features Côtes de Fleurier finishing, is a dual-barrel design boasting 265 components, a 4 Hz beat rate, and an impressive 60-hour power reserve. Visible via a sapphire caseback, it powers dual sub-registers: Day and date are displayed at 8 o’clock, while month and leap year are shown at 4 o’clock. Add in the time, and you’ve got the makings of one of the most streamlined and elegant QPs of the past few years.
