AUDEMARS PIGUET, PERPETUAL CALENDAR REF. 25756BA, A SQUARE GOLD AND SAPPHIRE-SET PERPETUAL CALENDAR WITH PAVÈ DIAL, CASE NB. 1
This rare Audemars Piguet timepiece is a more flamboyant take on the Quantième Perpétuel Carré produced by the brand in the 1990s. The original square perpetual calendar was inspired by a historical piece made by the brand in the 1940s.
This particular piece carrying the case number 1 was probably made for a VIP client (the watch was sold in London in 1994) and is distinguished by its strikingly pretty case set with baguette-cut sapphire stones and a paved diamond dial. According to the heritage department at Audemars Piguet, the case was set with 60 baguette-cut sapphires for around 6.4 carats. The watch is powered by the ultra-thin manual-winding 2003/2805 and is presented here in a very attractive condition.
