With a sound heritage in the production of highly complicated watches since the beginning of the twentieth century, Audemars Piguet took advantage of the increasing popularity of complicated wristwatches and introduced the first perpetual calendar wristwatch with leap year indication in 1955.
Although the Royal Oak family has become their most iconic and popular series, the present lot demonstrates the magnitude of Audemar Piguet's expertise in the manufacturing of complex timepieces and their ability to play with a more timeless design language.
