The replica Tourbograph Perpeal Calendar is made for buyers who want the layout and presence of one of the most complicated wristwatches ever produced, without the waitlist. It stacks an exposed tourbillon, a full perpetual calendar and a split-seconds chronograph onto a single dial, which makes it one of the busiest and most rewarding faces in any collection. This guide covers what the piece includes, how it is finished, and what happens after you order.
Key Features
- Exposed one-minute tourbillon cage under a polished steel bridge, visible through the dial aperture
- Perpetual calendar showing day, date, month and a leap-year indication on recessed subdials

- Split-seconds (rattrapante) chronograph with twin central hands for timing two events
- Sapphire crystal front with anti-reflective coating and a display caseback
- Hand-polished case with brushed flanks and crisp, defined lugs
- Alligator-grain leather strap with quick-release pins and a signed pin buckle

Materials and Specifications
Cases are cut from 316L stainless steel, with a gold-plated finish available if you prefer a warmer tone. Each one is polished and brushed by hand so the lug edges stay sharp and the bezel catches light evenly. The front crystal is sapphire with an anti-reflective coating, and the display caseback reveals decorated bridges, blued screws and jewel settings. The dial uses applied indices with a printed railway minute track, and the calendar and moon phase sit in stepped subdials that add depth. Inside runs a mechanical movement beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour with a power reserve in the 40-hour range, so it can be wound daily or kept on a watch winder. Strap hardware is interchangeable, letting you swap leather for a sportier band.
Shipping and Returns
Orders ship free with tracked delivery and are usually dispatched within one business day. Every watch travels in plain, protective packaging with the strap and tool kit included, and each piece is checked and timed before it leaves the bench. If the fit or finish is not right, returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery as long as the watch comes back unworn and in its original packaging.
Does the replica Tourbograph Perpeal Calendar have a working tourbillon?
Yes. The cage rotates once per minute and is driven by the movement rather than fixed as decoration, so you can watch it turn through the dial opening.
How close is it to the original design?
It follows the original proportions and dial layout closely, including the subdial placement, hands and case finishing. Exact internal construction and engraving differ from the genuine piece.
Is a perpetual calendar hard to set?
It takes a few minutes the first time, then only needs adjusting at the end of shorter months. Use the supplied pusher tool and avoid changing the date late at night while the mechanism is engaged.
