Throughout its long history, Audemars Piguet has striven to be at the forefront of new watchmaking technology, so it’s not surprising that Audemars Piguet is a pioneer in the genre of the minute-repeater watch. The first Audemars Piguet watch with a minute repeater was completed in Bienne, Switzerland in 1892. The first such watch with a signature dial followed in 1906. But these were only a few of the remarkable Audemars Piguet watches that we cover in this century-spanning feature article, never before presented in English and not available in print.

Many significant Audemars Piguet watch models and complications followed the groundbreaking minute repeater watch, such as the Full Calendar in 1921, Caliber 2003 in 1945, the Perpetual Calendar in 1957, and automatic Caliber 2120 in 1967. Other Audemars Piguet watches included Tourbillons and Grande Complications. But it was in 1972 that Audemars Piguet released the watch that became its signature, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, which quickly became Audemars Piguet’s leading model and remains so today. The Royal Oak later begat the even sportier Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore watches, some famous examples of which are also covered in our article. Then there is 2002’s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept watch, which used innovative materials from the worlds of aerospace and medical engineering.
