Introduced as a concept watch at SIHH 2018 and as a full production watch in 2019, The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin is said to be the thinnest automatic Perpetual Calendar watch ever made. The watch measures 41mm wide and 6.3mm in height, which is 3.2mm slimmer than the ordinary Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. The Automatic cal. 5133 is based on the cal. 2120 found in the Royal Oak “Jumbo”. Consequently, it is one of the few ultra-thin movements with a full rotor, instead of a micro-rotor. This new movement is not just thinner, but also simpler, with only 256 components compared to 374 in the standard Royal Oak perpetual calendar cal 2120.
The models diameter has slightly increased to 41mm from the traditional 39mm to accommodate the movement, with the case made predominantly of ultra-lightweight titanium alloy (main case and bracelet) with platinum center links, hexagonal bezel and a folding clasp. The dial is a lightly brushed blue color, with sunken sub dials that are extremely legible and clear to read, and has luminous hands an hour markers.
