Catalogue Essay
Audemars Piguet's first automatic perpetual calendar was released in 1978 - the thinnest version in the world, at the time. The possibilities were endless, and Audemars Piguet adorned its model with a variety of dial variants, ranging from simple white versions, to a fancy "Tuscan" finish and even gem-set designs.
Powered by Audemars Piguet's famous caliber 2120, the present timepiece is cased in platinum and incredibly striking. Displaying a skeletonized dial, the month, day and date rings are rendered in blue, contrasting against the platinum case. At 36 millimeters, the case size is perfect for any occasion, whether discreetly worn under a shirt or a more flamboyant setting.
