Andersen Genève – unique minute repeater with perpetual calendar

Collecting · · by Christian Bissener


Andersen Genève minute repeater perpetual calendar, dark dial with coloured hands on a black cushion

A unique timepiece by Svend Andersen: a minute repeater with perpetual calendar, built around a 1920s LeCoultre minute repeater movement.

The case is in rose and white gold, and the minute repeater is triggered by the bezel. White gold hands show the hours and minutes. A small blue gold hand indicates the month, a long blue gold hand the date, and the leap year is shown at 6 o’clock. The dial is in blue gold.
