REF. 7000 QP A, NO. 23, CIRCA 2001

The present Franck Muller Perpetual Calendar reference 7000 QP A, with its timeless yet unique style, perfectly captures the brand's unmistakable design principles. Eleven square hour markers made of blued steel and a creative reworking of the perpetual calendar layout are featured on its sophisticated silver dial. The month indication is shown via a semi-circular retrograde display that sweeps anticlockwise, a hallmark of Franck Muller's mechanical inventiveness, while the date, day, moon phase, and leap year are shown through conventional subdials. The end result strikes the ideal balance between technical sophistication and opulent design, with a harmonious and captivating dial composition housed within its round yellow gold case.

In 1991, Franck Muller established his own brand with Vartan Sirmakes, which quickly gained notoriety for its daring complications and avant-garde design that defied conventional Swiss watchmaking norms. The current watch's caseback proudly displays his nickname 'Master of Complications', which Muller earned for his mastery of mechanical ingenuity.
