The reference 5212A was introduced in 2019, a stainless steel Calatrava with an unusual complication, a weekly calendar.
A stainless steel Calatrava is a rarity, as in the past 10 years there were only less than a handful stainless steel Calatrava ever made, and most of them are limited edition.
The case is inspired by an unusual large Calatrava ref. 2512 with 46mm diameter that was sold by Sotheby’s in 2012. It has a complex stepped lugs and sandwich case with a classic 40mm diameter.
The dial is also vintage inspired with a silvery opaline coloured dial with blackened gold applied hour markers and hands. It has two additional hands with a flat red tip displaying the day of the week, month and the weekly calendar, as well as a date window at 3. What makes it highly unique is the font used on the calendar, which is almost like a handwritten font.
It is powered by the Cal. 26-330 S C J SE automatic movement with 45 hours power reserve.

Audemars Piguet holds a deeply rooted connection to the tourbillon, having pioneered the mass production of self-winding tourbillon wristwatches. It was a breakthrough as it was only 4.8mm thick. And the tourbillon first appears in a Royal Oak case in 1997 for the icon’s 25th anniversary.
The reference 26730 first introduced in 2022 for the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary. It is a direct successor and update to the reference 26530.
This model measures at 41mm in diameter with just around 10.5mm thick profile in 18K Rose Gold with an integrated bracelet.
It features a smoked blue grande tapisserie dial with an aperture displaying the flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock.
It is powered by the Cal. 2950 Self-Winding Tourbillon movement with flying tourbillon and central commemorative 50th Anniversary rotor.

It measures at 41mm in diameter with around 11mm thick profile in 18K Yellow Gold with integrated bracelet.
It is paired with a gorgeous blue dial with Grande Tapisserie pattern with a classic three-register layout and a useful date indicator between 4-5.

Introduced in 2003, the Audemars Piguet 26014SN Royal Oak Chronograph “La Boutique” New York Edition was made as a Limited Edition of 150 pieces to commemorate the opening of Audemars Piguet’s first flagship boutique in the USA at 40 East 57th Street in New York City.
