Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet Perpetual Calendar watch

The Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet Perpetual Calendar watch is an opulent luxury timepiece that offers a classical high complication within an elegant rectangular form. Since its founding in 1875, Audemars Piguet has been celebrated for their mastery of complications, the perpetual calendar being a particular speciality of the house. The complex mechanism of this Audemars Piguet timepiece indicates day, date, month, leap year, and phases of the moon. Thanks to a highly specialized mechanism, the perpetual calendar accurately keeps track of the varying length of months, and also takes into account the variability of February throughout the four-year cycle.

The Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet Perpetual Calendar watch is animated by an exceptionally fine selfwinding movement, the AP 2120 Caliber. This legendary movement, created in its first form in 1967, represented the thinnest automatic winding movement with central-rotor produced up to that point. To this day, the 2120 caliber remains a benchmark in the haute horlogerie category, due to its unique constructive details, and great refinement. Audemars Piguet lavishes this fine movement with exquisite finishing, including perlage on the plates, and hand-applied cotes de geneve on the topsides of the plates; screw and jewel settings are all countersunk and beveled, and all edges are sensuously rounded using the traditional technique of anglage. The winding rotor has been relieved, and displays the Audemars Piguet initials, which have been engraved with elegant patterns.

Audemars Piguet offers the Edward Piguet Perpetual Calendar watch in both 18K white gold, and 18K pink gold; these elaborate rectangular cases exude Art Deco style, with extraordinary attention to minute detail; the contrast between brushed and polished finishes is the result of extensive hand finishing, and is a treat to the senses of both sight and touch. The Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet Perpetual Calendar watches have elegant dials which feature an elaborate guilloche pattern and leaf-shaped hands and Breguet numerals crafted from solid gold; a fine crocodile strap with an elegant gold AP folding clasp secures the timepiece to the wrist.
