We are happy to present a watch that truly took us by surprise when we first laid eyes on it: the stunning Quantième Perpetual (or “Perpetual Calendar”) from Audemars Piguet. Named after one of the brand's founders, Edward Piguet, this watch embodies cool sophistication and exquisite taste—all at a price point that’s hard to resist!

Let us explain why this one surprised us: we love the playful, rectangular-elongated but slightly curved case in 18k yellow gold. The pushers for setting the calendar are recessed at the side of the case, giving the watch a lovely presence on the wrist—quite the opposite of loud!

The dial integrates the traditional layout for a perpetual calendar, though reworked for its rectangular shape. It features recessed sub-dials that mirror the smooth silver hue, showcasing elegant details like the moonphase at 6 o’clock, adorned with a delicate gold line. The subtle sub-dials are circularly finished, with simple yellow gold indices dancing alongside a black printed railroad track, all paired with minimalist, non-lumed stick-style hands.

This QP model is powered by the illustrious ultra-thin handwound Caliber 2003, a movement that’s been revered since its inception in 1946, thanks to its collaboration with Jaeger-LeCoultre. Audemars Piguet didn’t stop there—they enhanced this movement with their 2805 QP perpetual calendar module, achieving an astonishing total thickness of just 3.19mm. The finishing is nothing short of art, featuring exquisite chamfering, polishing, and beautiful Geneva striping.

Paired with the photographed strap and an original 18k AP pin buckle, this QP has been fully serviced by our watchmaker, ensuring it’s ready for its next adventure.

For many, the model is a footnote to the much bolder narrative around the famed Royal Oak, but we think it deserves a deeper look. We believe this Perpetual Calendar is worth more than what you have to pay for it at the moment, especially given its prestige and beauty.

Don’t let this opportunity slip away—get in touch and claim this remarkable watch for yourself!
