The present Tourbillon Quattro features a remarkable list of complications, including its tourbillon and perpetual calendar. The chronograph is not only a split-seconds mechanism but even features a flyback reset function, powered by the automatic 56F9U movement, proudly displayed through the case back. The watch was unveiled in 2001, after the Swatch Group had acquired Blancpain, making it a milestone release of the early millennium era.
