The Best Perpetual Calendar Watches From Watches & Wonders 2025

One of the most classical and complex yet satisfying complications to master is, of course, the Perpetual Calendar. It was Patek Philippe who first put a perpetual calendar pocket watch movement into a wristwatch in 1925, but the history of the Quantième Perpétuel, as it’s called in French and explains why it’s often abbreviated to QP, goes back even further than that. The complication remains one of the most coveted in the industry, and it’s no wonder we still see so many of them. It’s a celebration of watchmaking, of complexity and ingenuity, and a testament to the skill of the watchmaker to construct one. So still dizzying with all the news from Watches & Wonders 2025, here’s a selection of the best new Perpetual Calendar watches.

Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Perpetual Calendar

Up first is one of the cleanest and sophisticated new QP’s we came across, the Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Perpetual Calendar. It cleverly integrates two indications per subdial in the bottom half of the dial, which treads in the path of the restraint and pure look that Parmigiani Fleurier excels in. The finish is exquisite, as the movement is constructed with hand-decorated gold bridges and plates. There’s a choice between a platinum and Morning Blue dial, or a rose gold and Golden Hour dial, finished with a finely grained texture.

Vacheron Constantin Traditionelle Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon 270th Anniversary

Celebrating 270 years of continuous watchmaking, Vacheron Constantin pulled out all the stops and showcased a whole range of special watches. This included the wonderful Traditionelle Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon 270th Anniversary, a standout watch for many reasons. First up is the full QP display in the top half of the dial. Then there’s the tourbillon escapement that regulates everything. On top of that, or rather around the back of the watch, is the peripheral rotor. To finish it all off, the silvery-white dial has been decorated with a hand-applied guilloché motif to mark the Maison’s milestone.

Patek Philippe grand complication 6159G

Obviously, Patek Philippe is sure to be mentioned when it comes to Perpetual Calendars, and this year the new Grand Complication 6159G took to the stage. To honour one of the most prolific complications around, the 6159G comes with a gradient smokey sapphire crystal dial that partly reveals the magic underneath it. The calendar display is very original in its layout, yet very intuitive. All is set in a white gold case with a hobnail-decorated bezel and caseback, finished in typical Patek style.

We haven’t written about the new 6159G just yet, but it’s quite similar to the 5496P in movement construction and dial layout.

IWC Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar

By far the most sporty entry in this list is IWC’s new Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar. It combines two brand legends into a single watch for the first time, as it pairs Gérald Genta’s 1976 design that inspired this generation of the Ingenieur with Kurt Klaus’ clever QP module. The style is very much what you would expect, with a crosshatched pattern on a blue dial, the signature screw slots in the bezel, the integrated bracelet, and so on. The subdials are neatly spread across the face of the watch, and around the back, the movement is revealed.

Frederique Constant Classics Perpetual Calendar Manufacture

One of the stars of the show in terms of QP watches was the Classics Perpetual Calendar Manufacture by Frederique Constant. Not in the least bit for its remarkably sensible price of CHF 9,995, but even more so for its devilishly good looks. A sleek and elegant case, a lovely and balanced salmon dial with contrasting textures, and an in-house movement with 72 hours of running time. What’s not to like about that? Kudos, Frederique Constant, you’ve done well with this one!

Bremont Altitude perpetual Calendar

With the welcome return of the Trip-Tick “Martin Baker” case, Bremont also had another surprise for us in the new Altitude collection. The brand came out swinging with an array of new Altitude watches, including this Altitude Perpetual Calendar GMT Mono-Pusher. With that signature case comes a brushed blue PVD-coated dial with contrasting colours for the multitude of indications. Using a high-end Sellita AMT6900 as a base with a complications module by Agenhor, it indicates not only time, but also a full QP calendar, as well as a GMT function.

Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Obsidian

Piaget flexed its muscles with a new iteration of the Polo Perpetual Calendar for this year, now incorporating a stunning Obsidian dial. This naturally occurring volcanic glass rock (or stone, if you will) shows an array of blue and grey tones for an exquisite look. The white gold case is just 8.65mm in height, it’s also a remarkably thin watch, which shouldn’t be a surprise given the brand’s expertise in ultra-thin watchmaking. The icing on the cake is the micro-rotor seen through the back, finished in contrasting blue to match the front.

We haven’t written an article about the Polo QP Obsidian just yet, but here’s a detailed rundown of a similar Polo in steel and green.
