Manufacture

When it first came out in 2016, the Frederique Constant Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture was the most affordable perpetual calendar watch on the market. Today, the timepiece is pushing the envelope still further in quality, component finishes and technical features. Here, the dial sports one of collectors’ favourite colours – salmon – in a steel case that now comes in a 40-millimetre diameter. The new Classic case houses the new Manufacture FC-776 calibre, the 34th developed in-house by the Geneva-based watchmaker and now boasting a three-day power reserve.
