De Bethune, DB25sQP

Lot Details

The present De Bethune DB25sQP brings the perpetual calendar into a more compact and wearable format, with a lightweight 40mm titanium case. Its blue and white dial offers a clear and balanced display of information, while preserving the technical sophistication and design language that define De Bethune’s most celebrated complications. In Their Own Words: "The perpetual calendar holds a special place in the history of watchmaking. It was self-evident that De Bethune would introduce its own interpretation, which we launched only two years after launching the brand. It was, in fact, our first in-house movement, and over the past two decades it has remained at the very heart of our collection, inspiring several models including pieces in the DB25 family. With the DB25sQP, our challenge was to take everything we had learned and to create our smallest perpetual calendar. This required us to rethink the mechanism — not only to reduce its dimensions, but also to preserve its clarity, legibility, and absolute reliability. The result is a movement that integrates our most advanced technical solutions in a lightweight and very wearable 40mm case, in titanium. In this way, the DB25sQP becomes a bridge: uniting De Bethune’s forward-looking vision with the timeless elegance of the great perpetual calendars of history." - Denis Flageollet, co-founder and Master Watchmaker of De Bethune
