Introduced du⛄ring the mid-1990s, the Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet 'Quantième Perpétuel' Ref. 25682 stands out as one of the most graceful and unusual perpetual calendar watches crafted by the renowned maker.

Drawing inspiration from the company's iconic rectangular calen🌟dar timepieces of the 1920s, this model showcases an Art Deco-inspir🍨ed case.

Complex, yet paradoxically simple and refined, the 'Quantièওme Perpétuel' is an ideꦿal accessory for both daytime sophistication and evening elegance.


Established in 1875 by Jules Audemars and Edward-August Piguet, the Swiss atelier, now known as simply Audemars Piguet remains among the Holy Trinity of Swiss watchmakers alongside Patek Philippe, aꦫnd remains under the stewardship of the families of its founding visionaries. Throughout its history, Audemars Piguet has maintained a steadfast commitment to crafting perpetual calendar watches. However, for over a century, this feature was primarily associated with pocket watches. Remarkably, out of the 208 calendar wristwatches distributed between 1924 and 1969, merely 12 boasted a perpetual calendar complication. These exceptional timepieces emerged in 1955 and 1957 for the iconic Model 5516, marking the pioneering introduction of leap-year cycle indication in wristwatches.
