The Caliber 97443 is a Quarter Perpetual without leap year (the years make quarter of day more, like the earth), including chronograph, and with 24 hour repeater and five minute repeater, which means: If you are at 23h38, the watch will ring 23 hits for the hours, 2 hits for the quarters and one hit for the five minutes. Exceptional and in perfect condition, LNIB ;), case number: 212850. The watch went for 2 million Swiss Francs without taxes.
