Introduction
Famed for revitalizing the watchmaking industry in the 1990s with his complications and unique designs, Franck Muller proved to be an influential watchmaker who quickly developed a fanbase attracted to his distinct aesthetic. Carrying that very same aesthetic, this Franck Muller Perpetual Calendar ref. 7000QP is a classic piece of Franck’s design philosophy with its bi-color black and silver dial housing eleven blued steel square hour markers and an exciting take on the Perpetual Calendar’s layout. Blending traditional subdials for the date, day, moon phase, and leap year, the ref. 7000QP uses a semi-circular retrograde display that travels anti-clockwise to indicate the month. An interesting dial design with a round 40mm stainless steel case and studded lugs, the ref. 7000QP embodies the very essence of what made Franck Muller’s designs so famous in a time where so many watchmakers were afraid to break convention and thus enabling it to occupy an important position within today’s market due to the contribution it has made to the industry as a whole.

THE WATCH
Sized at the sweet spot of 39mm across in diameter, the 7000 QP wears well and provides for a comfortable fit on the wrist with its black leather strap.
THE DIAL
Intricately detailed with concentric circles engraved along its chapter ring and within its subdials, the 7000 QP features the finer touches that only watchmakers with an eye for detail care to include in their designs.
TIMING MACHINE READOUT
This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.
Condition
The watch is in excellent condition overall. Dial is perfect and shows no signs of damage or wear. Case has light surface abrasions consistant with moderate usage. Buckle seems to be original to the watch, however the strap is not original.
Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, an alternative leather strap to the existing exotic skin version, shall be provided.
Our Perspective
A complicated watch with an appropriately exuberant dial, the 7000 QP bears the very essence of Franck Muller's unique design language in its styling, construction and overall aesthetic.
