 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Watch Review
But have since adopted a rather more refined role - the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak "Jumbo" and also the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso - are what we'd call "ultra-thin." Though, they're are generally relatively large pieces, and also have incredible wrist presence. Both of these pieces are also even more than simply the sum of the their parts, plus they put on rather similarly. 

Well, the AP is 7mm* thick, as the caliber 2121 is 3.05mm itself (the reference 5402 pictured is 7mm thick while later reference 15202 having a azure caseback is 8mm thick). Obviously, it's automatic. The brand new Reverso Ultra-Thin is 7.2mm thick, as the JLC caliber 822 is 2.94mm alone along with a by hand wound watch.

The Audemars Piguet ref 25820 

Maybe the classic perpetual calendar from the Royal Oak line. This reference is generally seen having a dial of blue or white-colored, then when I spotted one by having an anthracite dial in the offices of Antiquroum, I required notice.

Formally known as the Quantieme Perpetuel Automatic, the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar has been around production since 1978. This situation is made in 1997 and thankfully appears to be although it has not been polished, gracefully showing wear and tear round the octagonal in shape bezel and situation while retaining its trademark crisp edges. Of particular note listed here are the possible lack of any protruding pushers or crowns for modifying the calendar. The fast-set buttons hidden across the situation walls permit the 25820 to support the legendary Royal Oak shape first observed in 1972.

Further enhancing the retention of Royal Oak attributes are 

Its svelte dimensions. Just 10mm thick, the perpetual calendar complication doesn't hinder wearability. This really is because of the 2120/4 movement inside. The /4 denotes adding a calendar module towards the base 2120 caliber. The dial remains 39mm.  You will find this specific reference of perpetual calendar doesn't have a leap year indicator, they are available on later QPs.

The Royal Oak is possibly the best sports watch, and also the 25820 adds a lavish complication towards the mix and seems to retain almost all of the defining features. The rare anthracite dial seen about this example causes it to be that rather more special.
