Audemars Piguet Unveils New Perpetual Calendar Movement for 150th Anniversary
The Swiss watchmaker debuts the Calibre 7138, a crown-adjustable perpetual calendar, alongside limited-edition timepieces celebrating its legacy.
- Audemars Piguet introduces the Calibre 7138, its first perpetual calendar movement where all functions are adjusted via a single crown, simplifying use and improving water resistance.
- The Calibre 7138 debuts in three models: an 18-carat white gold Code 11.59 and two Royal Oak designs in stainless steel and 18-carat sand gold, with prices starting at 109,300 CHF.
- A special Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked 150th Anniversary model, limited to 150 pieces, features the retiring Calibre 5135 and a design inspired by a 1990s pocket watch, priced at 175,000 CHF.
- The new perpetual calendar layout enhances legibility with a reworked dial design, intuitive date and moon phase indicators, and a 55-hour power reserve.
- Audemars Piguet also expands its Code 11.59 collection with a 38mm Flying Tourbillon model, featuring a diamond-encrusted case and the ultra-thin Calibre 2968 movement.
