Description:
Ebel is a historic brand founded in 1911, but it gained particular cultural significance under the leadership of Pierre-Alain Blum, from the late 1970s through the 1990s. During that period, while the watch industry was facing the quartz crisis, Ebel managed to stand out by introducing innovative models with significant impact. Among these, the introduction of the perpetual calendar in 1984 stands out, at a time when many Swiss brands were focusing on much simpler complications and Patek Philippe had not yet launched the famous 3970.
The watch presented is an Ebel Perpetual Calendar based on the El Primero caliber, reference 3136901. It is crafted in white gold — a limited production version — with a 40 mm case featuring the emblematic five screws on the bezel. The dial is white with Roman numerals, elegant and perfectly balanced in its perpetual calendar indications. The watch is completed by its original Ebel bracelet, also in white gold, an element that enhances its rarity, aesthetic coherence, and collectible value.
