The Audemars Piguet Reference 25657 stands as an exceptional tribute to the brand's technical mastery and its resilience during one of the most challenging periods in watchmaking history, the quartz crisis. Introduced in 1982, this model was the direct successor to the Reference 5548, Audemars Piguet's first automatic perpetual calendar, famously known by enthusiasts as the APQP (Audemars Piguet Quantieme Perpetuel). This reference represents an iconic chapter in the world of horology, combining mechanical ingenuity and aesthetic sophistication. The 25657 was produced until 1993, and while only 1,821 examples were made, fewer than 400 pieces were crafted in pink gold, making this example more sought after. With its sunken sub-dials, distinctive solid caseback, and signature “Swiss Made” inscription, it exudes both historical significance and timeless appeal. The watch is powered by the ultra-thin AP 2120/2800 movement, based on the legendary Jaeger-LeCoultre 920, which remains one of the thinnest automatic movements ever made. This pink gold beauty represents the finest in elegance and wearability, perfectly balanced with a highly innovative perpetual calendar mechanism. As one of the most important models of its era, it remains a true cornerstone in any serious collection, demonstrating the brand's ability to evolve and innovate despite the turbulent times. In great condition, this piece remains a shining example that undoubtedly captures the essence of Audemars Piguet's legacy in the world of mechanical watchmaking.
