Planets and one revolution around the sun in earth time (rounded):
                          
Saturn - 29.5 years, and Jupiter - 12 years = see clock theory in the book 
                      
Mars 687 days, + Venus 225 days, + Mercury 88 days = 1,000 
 
Nostradamus dedicated the last three centuries to his king, Henry II of France,
to complete the thousand.  I feel the revolution of these planets may be relevant to solving the puzzle.
 
The following may or may not be relevant to solving the puzzle:

The Greeks defined “day” as the period from sunrise to sunset and divided it into 12 hours, similarly dividing the night.

 

Ptolemy in his “Tetrabiblos” defines an “equinoctial period” or “time” as the length of time which it takes one degree on the equator to pass a fixed point, i.e. 1/360 of 24 hours.  An “equinoctial hour” is 15 “equinoctial times.”

 

If Nostradamus used the 360 degree circle, then 1/24th would then be 15 degrees.  His “night” would then be 180 degrees of a circle and the “day” the other 180 degrees.

There are 5 points in the heavens that Venus visits every 8 years within a fraction of one day.  If you connect these points, the result will be a Pentagram.

The Golden Ratio of a Pentagram or Pentagon (from Pythagoras simplified) is:  BC/AC = AB/BC = 1.6180339887

The number of 1.618 is considered significant by students of the Kabbalah as it is considered to be the divine proportion and represents the presence of God on Earth.

Fibonacci numbers :  0, l,  l, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89 ..........  but you can start with any other two positive numbers.  If you start with l and 3 you have:  1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123.....   Is this the 4137 and 4173 referenced in the Epistle?

The first quatrains are C 1 Q 1, C 1 Q 2, and C 3 Q 2.

The famous "Golden Ratio" sculpture in Jerusalem is shown below. This fifty-ton stone and gold installation is based on the Fibonacci numbers. The "Golden Ratio" was contributed by the Australian sculptor Andrew Rogers. (Photo credit and for more information visit IsraCast)

Did Nostradamus arrange his quatrains in blocks according to the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci numbers? If so, there may be 32 "blocks" of quatrains to a section.
