Audemars Piguet inaugurates its 150th anniversary with a revolutionary perpetual calendar

Audemars Piguet begins its 150th anniversary celebrations with a striking innovation: the unveiling of the Calibre 7138, a new generation of selfwinding perpetual calendar that reimagines both form and function. For the first time, every adjustment of this most intricate complication can be performed through a single “all-in-one” crown, transforming the user experience with effortless simplicity.

This intuitive mechanism is more than a technical upgrade — it represents a rethinking of the perpetual calendar itself. By streamlining corrections and enhancing legibility, Audemars Piguet offers a complication that feels as natural to use as it is beautiful to behold. It is a quiet revolution, perfectly timed to mark the Maison’s sesquicentennial milestone.

The debut of the Calibre 7138 spans three contemporary canvases: a 41 mm Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet in luminous white gold, alongside two 41 mm Royal Oak interpretations — one in sleek stainless steel, the other in the warm radiance of sand gold. Each watch carries the elegance of tradition, elevated by the ingenuity of modern horology.

With this release, Audemars Piguet reaffirms its place at the vanguard of fine watchmaking — celebrating 150 years not by looking back, but by shaping the future of complications with clarity, refinement, and quiet daring.
