The perpetual calendar is one of the most fascinating and complex complications in the world of horology, and the fact that the date needs to be adjusted only once in a hundred years adds to the technical and artistic mystery. Today, perpetual calendars are standard for brands such as Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin to showcase the best watchmaking techniques. Ironically, Rolex, which uses its "eternity" as a marketing gimmick, has never launched a watch with a perpetual calendar function.
But Rolex doesn't seem to be static, and in a patent that Law, filed late last year and made public this year, it seems to indicate that Rolex is developing a perpetual calendar.
Rolex says that in the study of perpetual calendars, attempts are being made to achieve a breakthrough in the conservation of amplitude using flexible components.
At the same time, Rolex also revealed in the published patent that it will draw on the patented innovations of the 9002 calendar calibre equipped with the 2023 Sky-Dweller series to maximize the perpetual calendar experience without increasing the volume of the movement, and create a semi-perpetual calendar or perpetual calendar.
