5 of the best luxury timepieces with perpetual calendar functions: from Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak and Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Polaris to Piaget’s Polo FortyFive watch
STORYStephanie Miu

- A luxury watch with a perpetual calendar function is considered the holy grail among timepieces since it requires no annual adjustment, staying accurate until the year 2100
- A. Lange & Söhne’s Langematik Perpetual features a dial crafted from silver, while H. Moser & Cie’s Streamliner Perpetual Calendar has a signature Fumé dial and Globolight inserts
We may expect our watches to show us the time, date, day and month of the year, but a timepiece that can account for leap years and the number of days in any given month without adjustments requires a great deal more sophistication. So impressive is a watch with a perpetual calendar function, in fact, that it won’t need to be adjusted until the year 2100 – a dream piece for collectors. Here are some of the most impressive perpetual calendar watches on the market:
1. Audemars Piguet
