Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Openworked Perpetual Calendar
By: ED209 : March 15th, 2014-15:00
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Openworked Perpetual Calendar 25829ST is still my favorite watch in my small collection. I wear it almost daily and throughout the year I look forward to the end of February for the transition of the date from February 28th o...
Great report ED!

Didn't know that the perpetual calentar had that feature!! Good to know!! Best! Ernesto
Thanks for checking it out
By: ED209 : March 15th, 2014-21:41
Thanks Ernesto! To me the perpetual calendar is easy to read and has been working great. Regards, ED-209
You're welcome
By: ED209 : March 15th, 2014-21:43
Thanks Wayne! It's a great experience to see the date transition. Glad I could share it with everyone here on PuristSPro. Regards, ED-209
Love this post!!

I always love looking at this piece of yours Ed, and thanks very much for showing the Feb 28th turnover! The small hand in the month subdial @ 12oçlock - is that the year indicator? And I agree, 39mm is a perfect size for the RO (I have the 39mm chrono). ...
The subdial at the 12 o'clock position

Hi ik2000, thanks for the comments. You're right! The small hand at the subdial at the 12 o'clock position is the year indicator. It shows which year it is in the leap year cycle. It has a slightly larger blued hand for the month. Here's a cropped picture...
Wonderfull watch, Ed!

... I like the dial, back full of engraving, and the blued hands.... It has everything you would need..... Wonderful photo report to understand the beauty of it. Thanks! Ken
Thanks Ken

A great watch

I love this watch and the platinum version is my grail. Wear it in good health.
The AP RO PC weight
By: ED209 : March 16th, 2014-22:38
Thanks hamish! interesting you mention the platinum version. On my steel version it is surprisingly lightweight. I have an older yellow gold AP RO PC (solid dial and caseback) that is very heavy. Regards, ED-209
I have a 26401 and it is a beast
By: hamish : March 22nd, 2014-04:04
I love the weight. After wearing a platinum AP it is hard to go back to any other metal. Platinum is just so versatile
Comparisons of the PC
By: ED209 : March 16th, 2014-22:40
Thanks Fricks, does your AP RO PC display the March 1st also near midnight? Would be cool to compare the performance of the change since we have several PuristS with this Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. Regards, ED-209
I always love seeing this one in action Ed.

Thanks for the post. I have Iron Maiden's "2 Minutes to Midnight" running through my head now! Never a bad thing for me :-) I must admit, I have always wondered what I would do on a custom rotor of a higher end AP. Family initials to pass down? Nope... I ...
Custom rotor

A pair fo 45s on a custom rotor would be really cool. Regards, ED-209
Great report
By: Colin W : March 16th, 2014-15:38
Love that piece, it is perfection on your wrist
Thanks Colin

Thanks for the kind words! Regards, ED-209
Perfect size
By: ED209 : March 16th, 2014-22:42
Thanks Jerry! Hope we can do a group pic of AP RO PC in a GTG soon! I was wondering, on your AP Perpetual Calendars do they also turn the date display around midnight? Regards, ED-209
I agree :)

IMHO the best Royal Oak Perpetual
By: Horology75 : March 20th, 2014-22:38
and remains to be on my wish list for long. I would do a custom rotor with personal initials on it (which Ap offers). Fantastic collage of pictures and wear this rare beauty in best of all health ! Ovi
