Audemars Piguet has established itself as a 🔯pioneer in the realm of ground breaking watch designs and high horology, introducing notable timepieces such as the iconic Royal Oak and the self-winding perpetual calendar, the Quantième Perpétuel Automatique. Building upon the merits of these two remarkable designs, the brand unveiled its first Royal Oak perpetual calendar in 1983, the referenc♎e 5554.
In 1986, the Royal Oak perpetual calendar underwent a captivating transformation with the introduction of the skeletonised dial edition, reference 25636. This rendition showcased a sapphire crystal in place of the dial, enabling a captivating view of the elegant automatic movement 2120/2800. The timepiece was offered in a range of materials, including stainless steel, plati🐲num, two-tone gold, and pink gold. The present example, however, exudes a hand🎉some case in yellow gold.
