Pequignet Royale Saphir

The Pequignet Royale Saphir is noted for its in-house Calibre Royal automatic movement, featuring instantaneous calendar and moonphase switching with an 88-hour power reserve. Reviewers highlight the movement's decoration and robustness, with a full balance bridge, and crown-adjustable complications. The 42mm case is described as elegant with a polished finish and unique lugs, though some find the dial busy with blue lume, and the crystal could benefit from more anti-reflective coating. One owner suggests the movement's conventional Swiss lever escapement allows for servicing by a competent watchmaker. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the technical sophistication of the Calibre Royal movement and the case design, despite minor criticisms regarding dial busyness and AR coating.
