When Carl F. Bucherer released the Patravi EvoTec DayDate at Baselworld 2009, it turned a lot of heads. Staying true to the maison’s innovative spirit, the watch came with the house’s first manufacture calibre, the CFB A1000 featuring the revolutionary peripheral rotor. In 2011, Carl F. Bucherer brought the elegant Patravi EvoTec Calendar into the scene. Unlike its predecessors in cushion-shaped cases, this new reference 00.10629.08.63.01 boasted the classic round profile in a 42.6mm case rendered in stainless steel. However, the most refreshing element of the watch was the indication of 53 calendar weeks.

With novel details, this reference also boasted a few recognisable features. As a result, we find the big date window at 11, day aperture at nine, and small seconds at six o’clock, akin to the previous Patravi EvoTecs. The small seconds indicator shown in a sub-dial in all the other models here comes on a semi-circular disc, giving way to the week indicator, positioned on an inner ring. This combination of new and old elements on the dial and case gives this Patravi EvoTec Calendar a refreshing vibe, yet at a glance, you know it's a Carl F. Bucherer watch.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
