Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar Moonphase

Why We Love It  Pieces such as this - a yellow gold Perpetual Calendar moonphase - are the perfect example of Audemars Piguet's design savoir-faire outside of the cherished Royal Oak. The large 36mm 18K solid yellow gold case features a stepped bezel and short, straight lugs give reward the wearer with a timeless design, complimented expertly by its crisp eggshell white dial with applied gold indices, yellow gold pencil handset., and blued steel subsidiary hands.  The high-grade Calibre 2120/2 automatic movement drives the calendar and moonphase complications, with micro-pusher adjustments at 4:00, 8:00, and 10:00. The entire effect is a watch that is not only beautiful but also easy to use and set. Complicated watches such as this one - particularly ones finished in precious metals and packing a lot of horological heat for its size - are passed over by most collectors today, but those in the know will recognize that the craftsmanship and materials are way beyond their current market
