Understated and quietly distinctive, the new Perrelet Weekend Aventurine adds a deeper layer to the brand’s most versatile collection. Introduced in 2017, the Weekend line has become a canvas for refined mechanical timekeeping with clean, modern lines. This latest edition swaps sunray finishes and matte colours for something more cosmic: a dial cut from blue aventurine, a mineral quartz flecked with natural mica. The result is a dial that catches light like a night sky, silver markers and dauphine hands cutting across it with sharp contrast.
At 39 mm wide and just under 10 mm thick, the steel case sits in the sweet spot for everyday wear, with proportions that suit almost any wrist. The mix of brushed and polished surfaces gives it just enough visual movement without calling attention to itself. Around back, a sapphire window reveals the automatic P-321 movement. Made in-house by Soprod—part of the same group as Perrelet—it beats at 4 Hz and offers a 42-hour reserve, its rotor decorated with sunray engraving and the Perrelet logo.
Strapped to a midnight-blue leather band with an alligator texture, the Weekend Aventurine doesn’t chase trends. It takes a simple, proven formula and shifts the focus to materials. The aventurine isn’t just decoration; it defines the watch, giving this edition its own personality without straying from the collection’s core identity.
