Consigned by an important private collector and offered in 'like' new condition, the present timepiece is an impressive and highly complicated 18k pink gold Blancpain Perpetual Calendar Split Second Chronograph reference 4286P-3642-55B is number 18 from a limited edition of 100 pieces only. The watch was offered with a retail price of 72'000 CHF.

The split seconds chronograph has a flyback function so that the reset function can be used without the need to first stop the chronograph. In regular chronographs you need to stop, reset, and restart the chronograph if you want to time an event after you have started the chronograph.

This watch has a co-axial crown at 3 o'clock and two push pieces at 2 and 4 o'clock. The flyback function is controlled by the button at 4 o'clock whereas the one at 2 o'clock is used to start and stop the chronograph. The co-axial button in the crown is used to either stop or rejoin the split second hand.
