Recessed subdials create depth and mesmerizing light effects, hinting at the dial's Stern Créations origins - also supplier to Patek Philippe and Rolex. - Preserved in excellent condition with its full set of accessories, the present Quantième Perpétual is a timepiece for the connoisseur who appreciates timeless aesthetics.
