The pinnacle of affordable luxury: the Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture in gold and onyx
When it was launched in 2016, Frederique Constant’s Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture made watchmaking history by becoming the most affordable perpetual calendar on the market. Today, the brand is once again pushing the boundaries by improving not only the quality and finish of its components, but also the technical characteristics of its movement. The piece is presented in an 18-carat yellow gold version, a treatment that the manufacturer reserves for its most prestigious collections. The dial is made of black onyx, offering a striking contrast and timeless elegance. At the heart of this watch is the new FC-776 manufacture calibre, the 34th movement developed in-house by the Geneva-based watchmaker, with a power reserve increased from 38 to 72 hours, or three full days.
Offering collectors more, without ever losing sight of its roots or history. Frederique Constant, an independent Geneva-based family business since its creation in 1988, has always stood out for its desire to make beautiful Swiss-made watchmaking accessible to as many people as possible.
Now an international group with its own manufacture, the brand has nevertheless remained true to its original vocation, even when it tackled the most coveted complication, the perpetual calendar. According to popular belief, a function displaying the day, month and date while taking leap years into account could only be an unaffordable luxury, but Frederique Constant proved the opposite, twice. The first time was when it launched its first perpetual calendar in 2016. Today, the brand has done it again, improving both form and function without making the complication any less affordable.

The Absolute Classic, Reinvented in Gold and Onyx
The Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture, one of Frederique Constant’s most prominent collections, returns to the forefront with a new variation in 18K yellow gold. Reserved for only 37 collectors, this piece embodies the perfect combination of timeless elegance and fine watchmaking. With its 40 mm case, alligator strap and deep black onyx dial, it represents the pinnacle of accessible luxury, a philosophy dear to Frederique Constant for over 35 years.

An Exceptional Complication
The Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture stands out for its complication: the perpetual calendar. This high-end watchmaking mechanism mechanically translates the irregularities of our Gregorian calendar. Mastered by only a few manufacturers in the world, the FC-776 manufacture calibre is the engine of this piece. This movement has undergone a substantial improvement, increasing its power reserve from 38 to 72 hours, while remaining affordable. The calibre is also remarkably easy to adjust, with each function (date, day, month, leap year and moon phase) having its own push-button discreetly nestled in the case middle.

The Elegance of Detail
Every element of this watch has been designed with meticulous attention to detail. The black onyx dial offers a striking contrast to the warm glow of the case and hand-polished yellow gold hands. The indications are clearly and intuitively arranged with the days, date and month on three separate counters, complemented by a moon phase gracefully positioned at 6 o’clock. The sapphire crystal case back reveals the intimacy of the FC-776 calibre, a jewel of watchmaking technology. Mounted on an alligator strap, this yellow gold timepiece is a true work of watchmaking art, destined to become an exceptional collector’s item.
