Thank you for reply.

I am not denying the need in runtime adjustment related to
temperature, aging and precision, which you are referring by excerpt 
from p.14.

I would like to make a point that Xtal trimming is for coarse grained 
adjustment (pages 36-39), primarily related to Xtal capacitance CL (not 
CD/CG). Our goal is to keep a reasonable  drift of ,say, <1 second per 
day and for Xtal that we use with 12.5pF RTC manufacturer recommends 
using 0x23 value for adjustment. In this case we act according to (A) 
course from page 38:

"Adjustment of clock is not made for IC (no adjustment) and any CL value 
may be used for the crystal oscillator. Precision fluctuations of a 
crystal oscillator may be selected as long as clock precision allows. 
Obtain the central frequency as described in section 2.2 using several 
crystal oscillator and ICs, determine an adjustment value as
described in “2.4 Time Trimming Circuit” which shall be set to the 
RS5C372A/B."
