The present spectacular neo-vintage high jewellery reference 25786BA, a skeletonized perpetual calendar with moon phases, was created as a one-of-a-kind piece featuring a stunning baguette-cut ruby bezel. It exemplifies the pinnacle of watchmaking technology and the craftsmanship of a master jeweler.
Reference 25786BA was produced in four examples, each designated as a unique No. 1⁄1. The four pieces include one with a ruby-set bezel, one with an emerald-set bezel, one with a sapphire-set bezel, and one with a diamond-set bezel. According to Audemars Piguet literature, all four pieces of this reference were sold in 1995.
The beauty and rarity of perfectly matched colored precious stones are widely appreciated, and for Audemars Piguet, only perfection is acceptable. Discreetly lavish, this model is one of the most elusive and exclusive of all Audemars Piguet's neo-vintage gem-set timepieces. The bezel is adorned with carefully selected and shaped baguette-cut rubies, while the hour markers on the dial are also set with round rubies. The skeletonized dial is overlaid with a translucent sapphire crystal featuring red-colored subsidiary chapter rings, harmonizing perfectly with the ruby bezel.
At its heart beats AP’s revolutionary caliber 2120, launched in 1978. This automatic caliber was a game-changer for Audemars Piguet, with its ultra-thin under-dial work for the perpetual calendar combined with the world’s thinnest self-winding movement, resulting in a total movement height of just 3.95 mm. In this special reference, the movement is skeletonized and hand-engraved, with the rotor pierced to display the initials ‘AP.’ The perpetual calendar display of this reference does not feature a four-year leap-year cycle indication, as it predates AP’s reintroduction of the leap-year indication in 1993.
This magnificent one-of-a-kind ruby-set automatic perpetual calendar moon phase watch represents the perfect fusion of mechanical complexity, unique design, and ultimate exclusivity. Undoubtedly one of the most noble examples of an Audemars Piguet perpetual calendar moon phase automatic wristwatch in existence, it offers collectors a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own this extraordinary timepiece.
