i still have quite some way before my first perpetual, but if you could have only one....
If you could have only 1 perpetual calender watch which would it be? And if you could add 1 more complication to this (eq, world time or chrono or tourbillion..) which would it be....
Personally i'd like to see something inteeresting on a Panerai or a IWC Big Pilot.....Infact on my number 1 wish list is a Perpetual big pilot with gmt...alot to ask for?

i might be biased as i have a UN Ludwig Perpetual, but the
UN gmt +/- perpetual would fit the bill very nicely especially the ltd edition with the 43mm(might be 42mm) case. UN are the only company that make a Perpetual where you can turn the date back as well as forwards. invented by Ludwig Oeschlin and patented on the Ludwig perpetual in 1996, they're 150th anniversary. i can understand you wanting a multi complication with chrono as well. wearing a watch that does absolutely everything is a nice dream, but IMHO it is better to have a seperate watch for every event unless you intend to only buy 1 watch and wear it all the time. if thats the case you want a perp calendar chrono with moonphase and gmt function.
some of the perps on an earlier post would fit the bill. the IWC that Jon has is a lovely piece, but the UN is, again just IMHO better laid out and easier to read.
just my view

Actually I would agree with you when it comes to practicality of the watch

IWC made some nice PC, as this one, which adds a 7 Days Power Reserve...
I see more something like that tha a PC in a Big Pilot or in a Panerai, that seems odd in a military watch, IMHO...
But, if you want fun and useful PC, go to UN, they are stunning!
Ot to JLC, with an alarm colplication, or a 8 days Power Reserve too! Best.
