from Hodinkee: 
 Key details like the placement of subdials, calendar apertures, and
 tachymeter all remain the same. One of the more notable updates 
is to the case size: at 42mm, the new model is substantially larger
 than its more modestly-sized predecessor, which clocked in at 38mm.

Viewable through a sapphire case back, the Calibre 410 runs
 at 5 Hz with 390 components powering three distinct functions
 in addition to basic time keeping. The aforementioned
 column-wheel chronograph function uses two subdials, a 30-minute
 register at 3 o’clock as well as a 12-hour register at 6 o’clock.
 A sub-seconds dial sits at 9 o’clock as well.

The calendar function includes day, month, and date. The day aperture
 is placed at 10 o’clock, the month at 2 o’clock, and the date between
 4 and 5 o’clock. Having the calendar apertures spread out in this
 way does detract a bit from the overall readability of the dial. 
 
$11,000.

Hehe, I would be bowled over if they did, or even anywhere close to it. Watches in this price region (and upwards) for me are only a good proposition if they'll return the investment in 20 ~ 30 years time. I hate myself for considering a lovely watch like that, but I could only ever be a caretaker, not an owner. A very happy caretaker mind you :)
