The **Aeternitas Mega 4** is a highly complicated wristwatch by [[Franck Muller]].

===== Info =====
After five years development time Franck Muller proved with this incredible, in [[2009]] finished [[Grande Complication]] once again, that he deserves to be called "Master of Complications", and rightly so. The most complicated wristwatch of the world at that time has 36 [[complication]]s (25 of them visible), a [[secular perpetual calendar]] for 1,000 years, and the movement consists, believe it or not, of 1,483 components.

The housing has the three-dimensional incurvated form "[[Cintrée Curvex]]", well known from Franck Muller.

The watch costed 2,700,000 US-Dollars. It was sold in November [[2009]] in Monaco to the passionate watch collector Michael J. Gould from Colorado, USA. It was handed over to him in a celebration, which was attended by [[Muller, Franck|Franck Muller]], [[Sirmakes, Vartan|Vartan Sirmakes]] and further 400 invited guests.
