Catalogue Essay
The Audemars Piguet ultra slim perpetual calendar features a cutting-edge movement in an iconic case.
Based on the RD2 concept watch presented in 2018 the present timepiece is the world’s thinnest perpetual calendar with a case measuring a mere 6.3mm thick.
The base movement is caliber 2120 that has been a staple in the Royal Oak collection since 1972 but has been reworked in this model. Dubbed cal 5133 it has less components than the caliber found in Audemars Piguet’s regular perpetual calendars (256 vs 374) and has been reworked with a redistribution of the components on a horizonal pane increasing the movements diameter to 32mm (vs 29mm). Furthermore, to reduce thickness to a bare minimum the perpetual calendar module has been re-engineered for sit on a flat pane.
The case is light as made in titanium but features a polished platinum bezel and links. Separating the watch apart from other Royal Oak models the dial does not feature the signature Grande Tapisserie dial.
The present watch is in almost unworn condition and is complete with its full set of accessories.

Artist Biography
Audemars Piguet
Swiss
• 1881
A specialist in the manufacture of complications since it was established in 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, even audacious, timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. This Le Brassus-based Swiss manufacturer is one of only two major manufacturers still owned by the founding family. Since its earliest days, AP is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.
Today, the brand is best known for its Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch launched in 1972. Other key models include early minute repeating wristwatches, vintage chronograph wristwatches, such as the oversized reference 5020, perpetual calendar watches and the Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993.
