Catalogue Essay
This rare Audemars Piguet timepiece offers a more flamboyant interpretation of the Quantième Perpétuel Carré, a model produced by the brand in the 1990s. The curved square white-gold case exudes elegance and sophistication. The dial is beautifully balanced, featuring mother-of-pearl subdials, black hour markers with matching hands, and a moon phase display at six o’clock. Perpetual calendar wristwatches from Audemars Piguet are widely regarded as benchmarks of craftsmanship and aesthetics, and this reference is no exception.
The original square perpetual calendar design was inspired by a historical piece created by Audemars Piguet in the 1940s. This particular example, bearing case number 1, was likely made for a VIP client and stands out with its dazzling diamond-set bezel and fully paved diamond dial, adding a touch of opulence to its timeless design.
Powered by the ultra-thin manual-winding caliber 2003/2805, this watch is a testament to Audemars Piguet’s technical mastery. Sold in 1994 to the UK as confirmed by the brand's archives and presented in very attractive condition, this exceptional timepiece is a rare and striking example of the brand’s perpetual calendar legacy.
