This SIHH 2018 was a great one for Audemars Piguet as most of their novelties were absolutely on point and the brand was able to show how they master the rules and how they can break them. One of the most special watches at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie 2018 was the new Royal Oak RD#2 —where the RD stand for Research & Development— ref. 26586PT.OO.1240PT.01 in platinum. This watch presented as a concept is now the world’s thinnest automatic perpetual calendar at just 6.30 mm thick, marking a new watchmaking record for the brand.

SIHH 2018: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak RD#2 ref. 26586PT.OO.1240PT.01. The World's Thinnest Automatic Perpetual Calendar.
With the largest number of watches ever released at the SIHH, Audemars Piguet presents the new Royal Oak RD#2 ref. 26586PT.OO.1240PT.01, the world’s thinnest automatic perpetual calendar at just 6.30 mm thick, marking a new watchmaking record, the latest in a long line of world firsts for this Manufacture. Almost 2 mm thinner than the Royal Oak Extra-Thin ref. 15202 and regardless of featuring an automatic Perpetual Calendar, the new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak RD#2 took five years to develop.
