This Imperial Triple Date Moonphase is a bold and charismatic example of mid-century complication watchmaking, combining calendar functionality with striking design. Featuring a large steel case with dramatic, sculpted lugs, this piece captures the confident styling and mechanical charm that defined complicated watches of the era.
The dial is rich in detail, displaying the full calendar with day, date, and moonphase indications. Gold hands provide warmth and contrast, while subtle blue accents across the dial add depth and visual interest. Multiple pushers integrated into the case allow for precise adjustment of each function, a hallmark of traditional triple calendar watches and a tactile reminder of their mechanical sophistication.
At its core is a Swiss 17-jewel manual wind movement (Cal. 1149), a reliable and well-regarded workhorse used in many vintage calendar watches. Recently returned from the watchmaker, the movement is running well and keeping good time, ready to be worn and enjoyed.
The watch is fitted with a new leather strap, complementing its vintage character while ensuring modern comfort on the wrist.

Pieces like this reflect a time when watchmaking balanced utility with artistry, offering a full suite of complications in an elegant, wearable form.
