Just going off of the information in the photo, probably not. If you can show a picture of the caseback or tell us the model/reference number we can check the movement specs.
A perpetual calendar accounts for the alternating nature of 31-vs-30 day long months as well as leap years."Perpetual" refers to the lack of need to set it by the user. So usually you'll see a year display on dials with a perpetual calendar.
What you have here is a day-date complication 😃
You'll see day-date complications more commonly implemented as disks set underneath the dial. In this case the watch is solar powered (Eco-Drive) so discs would interfere with that system. So Citizen have used a movement where the day-date are subdials.
EDIT: sorry if this comes off as condescending, that was not my intention. I now see from your profile you're no noob when it comes to watches 😅
Congratulations Rafa!
