A Leap Year Complication from BOVET 1822: The Virtuoso VII Retrograde Perpetual Calendar

The VIRTUOSO VII Retrograde Perpetual Calendar exemplifies the culmination of the unparalleled expertise that has driven Bovet’s workshops for almost two centuries. The Virtuoso II specialty Caliber that equips this timepiece is an in-house movement now found throughout the Maison’s collections. It was adapted to the functions of the Amadeo® convertible case and is capable of displaying hours, minutes, seconds and any conceivable complication simultaneously on its two faces.
