There are some watches so beautiful that they literally take your breath away and seldom does one find a perpetual calendar watch more elegant and artistic than this one.

The third in Bovet’s Virtuoso series, this watch is a tourbillon with five-day power reserve and perpetual calendar with retrograde date. 

This timepiece can be worn on both sides thanks to the reverse hand-fitting feature and, like all Amadeo models, can be fully convertible, easily morphing from wristwatch to pocket watch and table clock. 

Its movement, elaborately named, the Calibre Virtuoso III Spécialité Horlogčre Dimier 1738, is manually-wound and comprises 656 components. 

The 46mm watch comes in red or white gold and is limited to just 39 pieces for each version in rose gold.
