Audemars Piguet Unveils Calibre 7138 at The Arc

Audemars Piguet has unveiled its revolutionary Calibre 7138 perpetual calendar movement, marking its 150th anniversary. This innovation allows all date functions to be adjusted through a single crown, eliminating the need for traditional correctors and specialized tools, and features a 55-hour power reserve. The new movement is featured in the Royal Oak and Code 11.59 models, simplifying the traditionally complex process of setting perpetual calendars that track day, date, month, and year, including leap years. The launch event took place at The Arc, AP's new manufacturing facility in Le Brassus, Switzerland, highlighting the brand's legacy in horological craftsmanship. The Calibre 7138 is set to become a cornerstone in high-end watchmaking, celebrating the brand's history while pushing technical boundaries.
