Frederique Constant Manufacture Perpetual Calendar - FC-776ONB3H7

Rare, radiant and limited to just 37 pieces, the Frederique Constant Manufacture Perpetual Calendar (ref. FC-776ONB3H7) is a Swiss automatic watch that pairs a warm 18K yellow gold case with a striking black onyx dial. Its beating heart is the FC-776, Frederique Constant's 34th in-house caliber, which runs at 4Hz on a power reserve raised from 38 to 72 hours. Each movement is adjusted and tested in six positions, and its perlage and Côtes de Genève decoration are on show through the sapphire case back.

Turn back to the dial and the complete perpetual calendar is laid out with quiet confidence across the onyx: month and leap year at 12 o'clock, date at 3 o'clock, moon phase at 6 o'clock and day at 9 o'clock, all framed by hand-polished Dauphine hands, slim hour markers and a sector-style minute track. The 40mm gold case follows the principles of vintage fine watchmaking with its softer contours, slimmer lugs and compact diameter, and the calendar is set with pushers recessed in the case, leaving only the hours and minutes for the crown in daily use. Presented on a black alligator leather strap, this is a collector's piece and a true expression of Frederique Constant's Manufacture expertise; note that it is rated splash resistant, so it is best kept away from swimming and showers.

Timepiece History

Frederique Constant was founded in 1988 by Aletta and Peter Stas, an entrepreneurial couple who shared a passion for watchmaking. Headquartered in Geneva, Frederique Constant has long aimed to make high-end Swiss-made watches available at more accessible prices. In 2004, it joined the ranks of Swiss watchmakers that develop and produce their own in-house calibers, and today its Manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, designs, develops and assembles more than 30 in-house calibers, including tourbillon, perpetual calendar and flyback chronograph complications. Frederique Constant celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2023.

The Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture first appeared in 2016, when it was presented as the most affordable perpetual calendar on the market. Its redesign brought a new 40mm case and the FC-776 caliber, with upgrades to component quality, finishing and technical features. Alongside the steel versions with blue and silvered dials, Frederique Constant created this edition of 37 pieces in 18K yellow gold, the third edition of the model in that metal. 18K gold is a signature material of Frederique Constant's Manufacture collections, reserved for its most prestigious pieces.
