Following in the footsteps of the perpetual calendar model, Audemars Piguet introduced the reference 25572 as a medium complication day/date in 1983, though it was initially referred to as the reference 5572. The reference remained in production until 1998, where production dipped between 1985 and 1995, and then came back into vogue during the last three years of production. A total of 1,770 examples were made: 576 in steel, 524 in yellow gold, 654 in steel and yellow gold, and 16 in white gold.

The day and date disks are showcased in two different sub-dials elegantly arranged at the center of the dial, respectively on the 3 and 9 o’clock positions. This configuration renders the dial clean and well-balanced, making it extremely appealing and appreciated amongst collectors.

Originally white, the dial of the present example has developed a warm patina tending to the cream/off-white color. Preserved in lovely condition, it comes complete with its original Certificate of Origin and coveted green leather octagonal presentation box.
