AP 2885

About the Audemars Piguet AP 2885

It is 31.6 mm across and 8.55 mm high, with 52 jewels and a beat of 19,800 vph for a 45-hour reserve, and it was for decades the movement Audemars Piguet built its most complicated watches on, in the Jules Audemars Grande Complication and the Royal Oak and Offshore Grande Complications. The glossary's definition of a grand complication is met three times over: the rattrapante chronograph, the repeater striking the hours, quarters and minutes on demand, and a perpetual calendar that needs no correction until 2100.

In the library it powers 17 Jules Audemars references, 16 Royal Oak Offshores and 9 Royal Oaks, in 44 mm and 42 mm cases, mostly openworked. 12 are limited editions.

The 2936 and 2889 are the maison's tourbillon chronographs, and the 5134 its ultra-thin perpetual calendar alone.
