For the French writer and Nobel laureate André Gide, gray was the color of truth—perhaps due to its balancing effect and the seductive radiance of this hue. In the DATOGRAPH PERPETUAL, the juxtaposition of a platinum case and a silver dial embodies both of these aspects. Since 2006, its name has been synonymous with the ingenious combination of a flyback chronograph and a perpetual calendar. With three highly elaborate, technically advanced mechanisms, it fully lives up to the task of precise short-time measurements: The column-wheel concept ensures reliable control of all chronograph functions, the jumping minute counter always provides clear legibility of elapsed times, and the flyback system makes it possible to accurately measure the durations of events occurring in rapid succession. With its Lange outsize date, day-of-the-week, month, and leap year indications, the perpetual calendar is so precise that it requires no adjustment until the year 2100, when a one-day correction will be needed. All calendar displays can be advanced simultaneously using a convenient rapid-correction pusher. Additionally, three recessed correctors allow the displays to be adjusted separately. The silver hue of the dial clearly highlights the black displays and prominently showcases the deep blue lunar disc with its stars. The chronograph hand indicates the elapsed time to one-fifth of a second. With its movement consisting of 556 lavishly finished parts, it delivers fresh proof of the Saxon manufactory’s virtuosity in the realm of horological complications.
