Few brands make a combined chronograph annual calendar, particularly at this price point 5960-01G is, not surprisingly, considerably more at $65,774 in white gold, while Richard Mille's RM 60-01 Regatta Flyback Annual Calendar Chronograph is more than double the price in titanium at $161,000 Ulysse Nardin's Marine Annual Calendar Chronograph and Montblanc's Heritage Chronométrie Chronograph Annual Calendar also combine the two functions in steel models, but neither delivers the chronograph-annual calendar package for the price Bucherer is offering: $7,200.
