During the quartz crisis in the 1970s and 80s, Audemars Piguet decided to venture further down the line of mechanical watchmaking with the release of the Quantième Perpétuel Automatique. Regarded as one of the greatest mechanical innovations during this difficult time, the brand debuted the thinnest automatic perpetual calendar movement, measuring a mere 3.95 mm. Overall, this watch is sure to impress with its simplistic white dial and traditional perpetual calendar complications. Further adding to the intrigue is the integrated, woven yellow gold bracelet, and the matching rope-like ornate case.
