Fitted with its original 18k gold Audemars Piguet buckle and accompanied by an Extract from the Archives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"7-7\"\u003eOffered here is an exceptionally elegant Audemars Piguet Quantième Perpétuel Automatique reference 25657BA, a watch that embodies an important chapter in the preservation of traditional mechanical watchmaking. Emerging during the quartz era, Audemars Piguet’s ultra-thin automatic perpetual calendars demonstrated the enduring appeal of sophisticated mechanical complications, expressed through restrained proportions and classical design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"9-9\"\u003eThe defining feature of the present watch is its beautifully balanced silvered dial, framed by a polished 18k yellow gold stepped bezel. Slender applied gold baton hour markers and matching central hands provide a warm contrast against the light background, while dark subsidiary hands distinguish the calendar indications. The recessed registers give the dial depth and character without compromising its understated elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"11-11\"\u003eThe month is displayed at 12 o’clock, the date at 3 o’clock, and the day of the week at 9 o’clock, complemented by a moon-phase display at 6 o’clock. This symmetrical arrangement presents the perpetual calendar with remarkable clarity. Discreet correctors positioned around the case allow adjustment of the calendar and moon-phase indications while preserving the clean case profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"13-13\"\u003ePowering the watch is the automatic calibre 2120\/2800, an ultra-thin perpetual calendar movement central to Audemars Piguet’s complicated watchmaking of the period. Housed in a 36 mm case measuring approximately 7.5 mm thick, it delivers considerable mechanical sophistication within the proportions of a traditional dress watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"15-15\"\u003eThe present example bears case number C 15760 and is fitted with a beige suede-style leather strap, secured by its original 18k gold Audemars Piguet buckle. The softly textured strap brings a relaxed contemporary contrast to the yellow gold case, while the original signed buckle provides a desirable finishing detail. The watch is accompanied by an Audemars Piguet Extract from the Archives; its specific production and sale dates should be transcribed directly from that document.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"17-17\"\u003eWith its balanced dial, precious-metal construction, and ultra-thin automatic movement, this reference 25657BA is a compelling choice for collectors seeking a discreet and historically significant perpetual calendar. The accompanying Extract from the Archives adds documentary interest to an already appealing example of neo-vintage Audemars Piguet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"included%3A\" data-source-line=\"19-19\"\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"23-23\"\u003eOriginal 18k gold Audemars Piguet buckle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"25-25\"\u003eAudemars Piguet Extract from the Archives\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"27-27\"\u003eNo box or original guarantee papers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"specifications\" data-source-line=\"29-29\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"31-51\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Audemars Piguet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quantième Perpétuel Automatique\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25657BA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1980s; exact year to be confirmed from the Extract from the Archives\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference production period:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1982–1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase number:\u003c\/strong\u003e C 15760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18k yellow gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round with stepped bezel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 7.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silvered with recessed calendar registers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Applied gold baton hour markers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-tone central hour and minute hands with contrasting dark calendar hands\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic calibre 2120\/2800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hours, minutes, perpetual calendar with day, date and month, and moon phases\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalendar layout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Month at 12 o’clock, date at 3 o’clock, day at 9 o’clock, and moon phases at 6 o’clock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase back:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid, engraved “Quantième Perpétuel Automatique”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAssociated b\u003c\/span\u003eeige suede-style leather\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuckle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original 18k gold Audemars Piguet buckle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Audemars Piguet Extract from the Archives\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Watch with Extract from the Archives; no box or original guarantee papers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"53-53\"\u003eWe specialize in vintage and contemporary timepieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"55-55\"\u003eWe offer a curated selection of watches, with each piece carefully inspected for authenticity and condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"57-57\"\u003eOur team is available to assist with purchase inquiries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"59-59\"\u003eHigh-resolution images and detailed descriptions accompany every listing for your confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"61-61\"\u003eThank you for visiting our page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"63-63\"\u003eWe look forward to assisting you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HORAMUNDI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68001896202532,"sku":null,"price":23000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/8222\/1348\/files\/audemars-piguet-25657ba-yellow-gold-perpetual-calendar-main.heic?v=1793704881","url":"https:\/\/horamundi.com\/products\/audemars-piguet-quantieme-perpetuel-automatique-ref-25657ba-18k-yellow-gold-extract-from-the-archives","provider":"HORAMUNDI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
