Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar
More actions
Audemars Piguet has built self-winding perpetual calendars into round dress cases since the 1950s, displaying the day, date, month and moon phase and correcting for the calendar's varying month lengths without manual adjustment until the year 2100. (Wikipedia) A hostage offers Bill Murray's bank robber Grimm exactly such a perpetual calendar in the vault scene of Quick Change (1990), described in dialogue as showing "the day, date, month and the moon on it," worth $12,000 and appreciating in value daily; co-director Howard Franklin has said on the record that the watch was Murray's own, written into the script at the actor's request because he was frustrated with Audemars Piguet's servicing costs. No reference, case metal, or specific model line is given, so this record covers the complication rather than a specific execution. (Deployant)
