New Audemars Piguet perpetual calendar – the release that many Audemars Piguet fans have been waiting for

Audemars Piguet has expanded its selection of perpetual calendars by introducing a series of new Royal Oak and Code 11.59.
Royal Oak models are offered in a combination of steel + light blue dial with a Grand Tapisserie pattern and in a combination of rose gold + beige dial with the same pattern. The case measures 38 x 9.4 mm.

The newly released calibre 7136 ensures the operation of the watch. This is a new version of the 7138 caliber, which in turn is a variation of the 7121 caliber, the mechanism used in the new generation Royal Oak models.
The power reserve of the mechanism is about 55 hours. All functions are controlled by the crown. An important feature is the absence of an indicator of the days of the week. Without it, the watch received a more classic design, which resembles the models of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar of the 1990s and early 2000s.

The Code 11.59 model, on the contrary, although it has become thinner, has retained the indicator of the days of the week. This is due to the fact that they do not have an updated 7138 caliber. The watch case measures 38 x 9.9 mm and is water resistant to 100 meters.

The entire body, including the through ears and the central part, is made of rose gold. The green dial with a pattern resembling a wicker basket is equipped with a set of hands and hour markers made of the same metal. The hands are treated with a luminescent coating.

The highlight of the new products, each of which will be limited to 150 copies, is the historic Audemars Piguet logo on the moon phase indicator.

The cost of the watch is available on request, but we can say that the Royal Oak steel evening watch is estimated at $110,900, and the rose gold version will cost CHF 120,000, which currently amounts to approximately $150,000.
