Footnotes

Conceived in secret and launched in the midst of the quartz crisis, Audemars Piguet's 1978 release of the world's thinnest self winding perpetual calendar wristwatch was one of the greatest horological innovations of the late 1970s.

Jacqueline Dimier, famed for her incredible contribution to the Royal Oak, was the design mastermind behind the original 5548 Perpetual Quantieme. The 5548 was her playground from which she went on to design a vast number of magnificent models and variations.

Often mistaken for reference 25657 the reference 25661 offers a visually treat courtesy of a snap-on sapphire crystal display back, highlighting the incredibly craftsmanship of the ultra-thin movement. This reference can be found in late C and early D series.

Introduced just 3 years after the ref. 25657 production of the ref. 25661 ran in parallel with most design features being shared across the references such as the sunken sub-dials.
