and I am sure this is a perpetual. If I recall correclty there have never been Blancpain complete calendars with such a dial layout. With the latter, month and weekday indications always were in windows:
As for the movement question - yes and no! The Cal. 95 is the base movement upon which calendar modules were mounted:
The movement in your watch is a Cal. 5395 (which is a perpetual calendar module 53 on a Cal. 953. The latter is a further revision of the Cal. 95)). Later there was also a Cal. 5495 which uses a module 54 (with leap year indication) on top of the same base calibre.
There used to be a download section on the Blancpain website where you could obtain a manual for your watch. Unfortunately I cannot find it anymore.
I hope this helps a bit.
Best,
Magnus

thank you very helpful info.
Thanks for the helpful information, and clearing that up for me.
Also the old question.......
Patek reference no. 3448, a perpetual calendar without leap year indication.
So again, how do you know?
I see there is no indicator, is there a trick to setting or by looking at the mvmnt? Or do you just go to end of Feb and and keep changing until you see the month goes to the 29th and set from there?
The reference is ...
5395 Perpetual calendar, selfwinding (cal. 5395, based on cal. 95), from the 80´s with (only) 40h power reserve. With leap year indication it would be Ref. 5495 . Oliver
