Condition Report Sign Up or Login In 1995, Audemars Piguet celebrated an important milestone, the 120th anniversary of the firm. As it is a common tradition for watch brands to launch limited edition or commemorative timepieces for momentous occasions, the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar was chosen to embody the spirit and history of over a century of the brand: the reference 25810. Limited to only 120 pieces, each was cased in pink gold with a matching pink gold dial, and featured the classic 39mm case. The distinct luminous quality of the dial comes from the contrast of the circular finishing of the subdials with the straight-grain finishing of the main dial. Even the hands are rendered in pink gold, but polished and tapered so that they are still legible against the dial. To further emphasize the significance of the occasion, the moon phases register is inscribed with the commemorative dates “1875-1995”. A subtle, yet meaningful touch, the anniversary is further highlighted on the hand-engraved skeletonized rotor with “120”. Powered by the firm’s self-winding cal. 2120, the movement is equipped with a weekly and leap year indication, with its week of the year indicated via an additional central hand on a chapter ring encircling the edge of the dial. In fact, the month/leap year cycle dial features a double recess in order to separate the bissextile cycle and the month indication. Complete with its certificate of origin and presentation boxes, this phenomenally preserved, historically important, and luxuriously elegant wristwatch is the perfect accompaniment for the man or woman who appreciates the marriage of history and beauty.
