The Quantieme Perpetuel model encased in a highly distinguished Gérald Genta Royal Oak design, and powered by their extraordinary perpetual calendar movement combines the two wonders of Audemars Piguet that had established the brand's identity since the 1970s. The present watch reference 25829 can be distinguished as the model with leap year indication displayed on the subsidiary dial, as the model without has a different reference number. This reference released in the 1990s marked the return of the skeletonised dial and was available in stainless steel, platinum, 18k yellow gold, 18k pink gold, and once again, the three incredible tantalum combinations. The present example housed in a platinum case allows its user to focus on the artistic personality of the skeletonised dial.
