Anyone have a Franck Muller watch?

Is the Franck Muller Perpetual Calender (7851 QPE) a limited edition? To my understanding, it was (limited to 100 pieces); however, of late, I have a friend who bought a similar model with a number that is more than 100. And there is no "XX/100" anymore, where XX is the number of the watch. Please advise. Thanks in advance!
 
Frankly, Franck Muller watches circa mid-1980s and they aren't cheap, in fact very expensive.

Now, frankly, for the same amount of money, I would rather put my money on a Patek, Piaget, Vacheron, or even a Rolex. I like to know that the brand of my watch has been proven, been around for years/centuries, and with a great history. Just my own very personal preference.
 
mmm,out of interest I did some searches,found a Heimlich Mueller???He tested drugs on the CIA?? Amazing how watchmakers move in such odd circles.

The Franck Muller I was trained on when we started stocking his watches came from about the best background you could want in a watchmaker.
The fact that he used to add complications to complicated Patek Phillipes watches,is nothing short of the best pedigree you can get.

So aside from unsubstantiated vitrol,and exhaustive looking I cannot find anything other than his watches are indeed very sought after in the pre-owned sector.Maybe he would'nt give you a watch free gratis,and it ticked you off??

Maybe just stick with the Pateks you own,and pray he did'nt touch them eh???---

^^^^^YEAH THAT^^^^^
