For collectors, Audemars Piguet’s perpetual calendar wristwatches are highly desirable. Introduced in the 1990s, the Edward Piguet collection is named after one of the two founding fathers of the manufacture, Edward-Auguste Piguet. This collection draws its design inspiration from a historic tank-style wristwatch created by the brand in the 1920s, which featured a perpetual calendar and moon phase complication. The reference 25 853 exemplifies this Art Deco influence with its elegantly curved rectangular pink gold case. The dial is impeccably balanced, with striking applied Breguet numerals and light printing that contrasts beautifully against the matte black background. Perpetual calendar wristwatches from Audemars Piguet are celebrated for their exceptional craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal, and this particular example is a rare combination of pink gold and a black Breguet dial, seldom seen in such watches. Additionally, this piece is part of a limited series of only 50 units, further enhancing its exclusivity and collectibility.
