This is the sort of JLC that makes me wish I had an extra $17k lying around...

Yes, I agree! A very successful implementation of a perpetual calendar (+ moonphase + power reserve). 17K isn't even all that much for a gold perpetual calendar, really....puts more than one manufacturer to shame.

Just remind yourself how much of a PITA they are to set if you let them run down 😀

Exactly why Patek charge so much more for the equivalent complication, to ensure you have a butler to wind it each night.

NFW! 👍

My only issue is the miniature year window in the top subdial.

You've seized on the one thing I don't love... maybe if they'd put it in the midline, at the bottom of the months subdial.

The new model might be more to your liking, at £27k.

A "very long time" calendar.

Doesn't sound as sweet as "perpetual" but technically more accurate.

Even better. As a detail, I love the little window in the base of the hour and minute hands on both versions that allows the view of power reserve indicator.

Reminiscent of the Powermatic. 👍

That's not a power reserve... it's a warning window that shows red between 10p and 3a so you won't set (and muck up) the calendar between those hours... all the more important that it be seen through the hands. 😀

Yep. Bothers me too. Throws off the symmetry.
