Audemars Piguet kickstarted its 150th anniversary with a bang, debuting the brand-new ultra-thin perpetual calendar Caliber 7138 in both the Royal Oak Ref. 26674 and the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet. The movement is outstanding, both technically and philosophically, not as an exercise in complication for its own sake, but as a complication conceived in service of the wearer.

It was also apparent that the United States Army Air Corps needed pilots, and lots of them. In 1939, the Air Corps had some 20,000 men and a few thousand planes. By 1945, those numbers had swelled to 80,000 planes and some 2.4 million personnel.

Much of the focus on Audemars Piguet’s first back of 2025 novelties has been at the complicated end of the spectrum, and rightfully so (I mean, that new perpetual calendar is something else). But sometimes all you need is a new coat of proverbial paint to freshen things up — and that’s exactly what we get with two new ceramic takes on the Royal Oak Offshore and a pair of minimalist Code 11.59 pieces in captivating grey. First, the pair of new Code 11.59 pieces in shades of grey.

At the risk of sounding emotionally fragile … OK, who am I kidding? Anyone that’s ever sat next to me on a plane knows that as soon as I start watching any movie featuring a dog, I start crying uncontrollably … The truth is that I can’t stand good-byes. I’ve always hated them. That’s why at farewell parties I always enact my signature “French exit,” meaning that I head straight for the door. No hugging. No kissing. No bumping of fists. No adieu.

Best remembered for pioneering the now-ubiquitous sports steel watch trend, Gérald Genta’s design legacy encompasses some of the 20th century’s most iconic timepieces. Few watches are as instantly recognizable, cherished, and imitated as those crafted by Genta, including the Universal Genève Polerouter, Patek Philippe’s Golden Ellipse, and Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak. Genta’s creative brilliance, however, truly shone with the launch of his eponymous brand in 1969.
