Frederique Constant Slimline Perpetual Calendar Manufacture 42mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 42 mm case suggests

Frederique Constant Slimline Perpetual Calendar Manufacture 42mm measures 47 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.12 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 46% of the 8,010 watches in this database.

A flat wrist width of 53 mm (2.09 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 63 mm (2.48 in) it starts to look compact. Below 47 mm (1.85 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 12.05 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 49% of the watches with a listed thickness.
