In 1986, for the first time in its history, Audemars Piguet combined the ease of the self-winding feature with the functionality of the chronograph mechanism and date indication and launched the calibre 2126/2840. Initially presented without a collection name, these watches would be occasionally referred to as 'Huitième' in some catalogues from 1988 onwards, particularly in those for the Italian market.
