02 AUDEMARS PIGUET
This is perhaps one of the best examples of how a brand can bring a classic design into the modern watchmaking landscape. The perpetual calendar is one of the complications that is strongly embedded into the core of Audemars Piguet’s origins. This year, the manufacture offers the classic Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar but with a case and bracelet in a stunning black ceramic. Due to the extremely hard nature of this material, Audemars Piguet’s specialists required more than 600 hours of research to develop the wristwatch and even the process of making the bracelet took five times longer than if it was in stainless steel. audemarspiguet.com
