All The 2025 Audemars Piguet Releases
Audemars Piguet is marking its 150th anniversary with a slate of new releases that showcase the brand’s legacy while pushing forward with movement advancements and material innovations. From a trio of perpetual calendars powered by the all-new Caliber 7138 to a new blue ceramic material inspired by the “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” shade of the first Royal Oak dial, this milestone year is shaping up to be an important one for AP. The brand has also introduced the final iteration of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked with Caliber 5135, and expanded its Code 11.59 and Royal Oak Offshore collections with fresh designs, new colorways, and technical refinements. As the watchmaker celebrates a century and a half of high horology, these 2025 Audemars Piguet releases set the stage for what’s to come next.
Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph RD#5
Release Date: October 2025
Kicked off in 2015, the RD (Research & Development) series by Audemars Piguet is a line of experimental watches that boast groundbreaking technical solutions to long-standing horological challenges, often setting new benchmarks in complications and ergonomics. And for its 150th anniversary, Audemars Piguet unveiled the fifth instalment in the form of the Royal Oak “Jumbo” RD#5, a landmark debut that pushes chronograph innovation into new territory. The 39mm watch combines a flyback chronograph with a flying tourbillon, which is the first time these dual complications appear in the Royal Oak Jumbo. Despite the complexity, the case remains ultra-thin at 8.1mm, thanks to the newly developed Caliber 8100.
Caliber 8100 introduces a patented rack-and-pinion system that allows for an instantaneous jumping minute counter (rather than the conventional minute counter that slowly inches forward), improved reset smoothness, and a tactile chronograph experience designed with smartphone-style ergonomics in mind. The pushers require remarkably little pressure to engage, offering an ease of use rarely found in mechanical chronographs. A platinum peripheral rotor helps reduce thickness while also allowing a better view of the rest of the movement.
Material innovation is just as important here. The case and bracelet combine titanium with Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG), a palladium-rich alloy with high strength and a reflective sheen, while the bezel, pushers, and crown selector are finished in polished BMG. The signature “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” Petite Tapisserie dial features snailed blue chronograph registers at 3 and 9 o’clock, white gold luminescent hands, and a special archival-style Audemars Piguet signature at 12 o’clock to mark the anniversary — a touch I think just adds that something extra special to the face of the already-impressive watch. Limited to just 150 pieces, the Royal Oak “Jumbo” RD#5 is priced at CHF 260,000.

Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 38mm
Release Date: September 2025
For the first time, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is offered in a 38mm case, powered by the new Caliber 7136. This movement, derived from the 7121 base, integrates the full perpetual calendar mechanism — including day, date, month, leap year, and moon phase — on a single level, keeping thickness to just 4.1mm while ensuring a 55-hour power reserve. The new models also debut Audemars Piguet’s user-friendly crown adjustment system, which replaces traditional case correctors with an intuitive crown-controlled setup protected by multiple patents.
Audemars Piguet offers two versions: the stainless steel ref. 26684ST.OO.1356ST.01 with a light blue Grande Tapisserie dial and the pink gold ref. 26684OR.OO.1356OR.01 with a beige Grande Tapisserie dial. Both come fitted with a case-matching integrated bracelet.
Each model is also offered in a 150th-anniversary edition of 150 pieces (ref. 26684ST.OO.1356ST.02 in steel and 26684OR.OO.1356OR.02 in pink gold), distinguished by a vintage-style “Audemars Piguet” signature on the moon-phase display, plus special “150 logo” engravings on the caseback.

Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar 38mm
Release Date: September 2025
The Code 11.59 collection also welcomes its first 38mm perpetual calendar, powered by the more complex Calibre 7138, which adds a week indication to the full suite of calendar displays. Like the Royal Oak models, it features the crown-controlled adjustment system that allows all settings to be managed without tools.
The debut reference, Ref. 26441OR.OO.D405CR.01, is crafted in 18k pink gold and paired with a green embossed dial designed with guilloché specialist Yann Von Kaenel. The concentric circular motif with tiny perforations creates a play of depth, punctuated with pink gold hands and markers. Complementing the dial is a matching green alligator strap, fitted with a pink gold clasp.
As with the Royal Oak releases, an anniversary edition (Ref. 26441OR.OO.D405CR.02) limited to 150 pieces is also available, carrying the vintage-style logo on the moon phase and commemorative engravings on the caseback.

Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon 38mm Stone Dials
Release Date: September 2025
Audemars Piguet has unveiled three new 38mm Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon models, each fitted with a natural stone dial. The trio revives the brand’s long tradition of stone dials from the 1960s while pairing them with one of its most contemporary collections.
The cases, which, as their names suggest, measure 38mm in diameter (and 9.6mm thick), and are offered in three types of gold: white gold with a Ruby Root dial (ref. 26665BC.OO.D632CR.0), pink gold with a blue sodalite dial (ref. 26665OR.OO.D349CR.01), and yellow gold with a green malachite dial (ref. 26665BA.OO.D412CR.01). Each stone is painstakingly cut into a wafer-thin disc, preserving its veining and natural brilliance. As is always the case when working with natural materials, no two dials are identical, which makes every watch unique. All versions are paired with dial-matching alligator leather straps and delivered with the option of a rubber-coated strap for added versatility.
The dials are home to a flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock, powered by the ultra-thin Caliber 2968 automatic movement with 50 hours of power reserve. While Audemars Piguet states that these new-for-2025 Code 11.59 watches with stone dials are limited edition, the brand doesn’t mention the exact production quantity. Price is “upon request.”

Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Large Date
Release Date: September 2025
Without any public announcement, Audemars Piguet quietly added a new Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Large Date to its catalog. This latest version follows the forged carbon Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Large Date (and the original titanium variant that debuted in 2023) with luminous blue fibers that debuted last year, but introduces a very different aesthetic by pairing CFT carbon with 18-carat yellow gold.
The 43mm case is crafted from CFT carbon, contrasted by a yellow gold bezel and push-piece guards. A black ceramic crown and pushers round out the construction, while the glareproofed sapphire caseback is engraved “Limited Edition.” Water resistance is rated to 50 meters. On the dial, the openworked black layout is accented with yellow gold rectangular hour markers, Royal Oak Concept hands, and a black inner bezel. The watch is delivered on an interchangeable black rubber strap with a yellow gold AP folding clasp, and includes a second textured strap.
Powering the imposing watch is the self-winding Caliber 4407, a 638-part movement with a split-seconds chronograph, GMT function, large date, and function selector. Beating at 4 Hz with a 70-hour power reserve, it combines technical depth with architectural openworking, visible through the sapphire caseback.
Limited to just 100 pieces (and price upon request, naturally), this yellow gold and carbon edition underscores the Concept line’s experimental approach to mixing advanced materials with high complications.

Royal Oak Offshore 37mm “Chameleon”
Release Date: September 2025
In another quiet release (but definitely not subtle in design), Audemars Piguet added a splash of playful color to the Royal Oak Offshore line with the 37mm Limited Edition Ref. 77605CB.OO.A422CR.01.
The watch introduces a chameleon effect across both the dial and strap, shifting tones depending on light and angle. Its 37mm white ceramic case is accented with titanium crown guards, a glareproof sapphire crystal, and a titanium-framed caseback engraved with the “Limited Edition” inscription.
The dial features the collection’s signature “Méga Tapisserie” pattern, here in a blue/purple/green color-shifting treatment paired with white gold hands and markers. A matching iridescent purplish inner bezel frames the design, while the watch is delivered on a purple iridescent alligator strap with a titanium buckle. Powering the piece is the selfwinding Caliber 5900, offering hours, minutes, central seconds, and date, with a 60-hour power reserve.
Limited to 200 pieces, the Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding 37mm “Chameleon” is priced at $48,900.
Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50 Ceramic Limited Editions
Release date: April 2025
To celebrate 50 years of the Royal Oak’s signature Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50 dial color, Audemars Piguet has unveiled three new references that bring the deep blue hue to the forefront — this time in full ceramic form. Inspired by the night sky over the Vallée de Joux, this deep and uniform hue was years in the making and now appears across the cases, bezels, pushers, and even bracelets of these latest Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore references. All three watches feature the commemorative engraving “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” on the caseback and offer a bold, modern tribute to the iconic shade first seen on the dial of the original Royal Oak in 1972.
Together, these three pieces aren’t just a callback to a classic dial color — they’re a full-material evolution. The “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” hue that once lived only on dials now takes over entire watches. And honestly? It looks right at home.
Blue Ceramic Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked Watch Specs
The Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked (ref. 15416CD.OO.1225CD.01) features a 41mm blue ceramic case that’s just 9.7mm thick, paired with a matching ceramic bracelet and titanium caseback. The “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” inner bezel surrounds a skeletonized dial revealing the Caliber 3132 movement, which features AP’s patented dual balance wheel system.
The pink gold hands and hour markers contrast with the otherwise monochromatic look, while the openworked bridges and components offer a full view of the movement from both front and back. Water resistance is rated to 50 meters, and the watch offers a 45-hour power reserve.

Blue Ceramic Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 42 Watch Specs
Next is the Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 42mm (ref. 26238CD.OO.1300CD.01), fully rendered in “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” ceramic — including the case, bracelet, crown, and pushers. The Méga Tapisserie dial, matching blue counters, and inner bezel create a uniform look, subtly broken up by the stainless steel bezel screws, titanium crown chip, and caseback frame.
Powering the watch is the Caliber 4404 flyback chronograph movement with a 70-hour power reserve and column-wheel architecture. The case measures 15.3mm thick and is water-resistant to 100 meters.

Blue Ceramic Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 43 Watch Specs
Finally, the Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 43mm (ref. 26420SO.OO.A029VE.01) combines a stainless steel case with “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” ceramic for the bezel, pushers, and crown. The dial features the same Méga Tapisserie pattern, with white printing and lighter blue chronograph counters for contrast.
Like the 42mm version, this one is powered by a flyback chronograph, but this time, the Caliber 4401 — visible through the sapphire caseback along with its rhodium-toned 22k pink gold rotor. This model is paired with a matching blue calfskin leather strap with stainless steel pin buckle and comes with an additional rubber strap. The case is 14.4mm thick and water-resistant to 100 meters.

2025 Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendars
Release Date: February 2025
Audemars Piguet is kicking off its 150th-anniversary celebrations with a fresh take on one of its most renowned complications — the perpetual calendar. The brand has unveiled three new perpetual calendar models, each powered by the newly developed Caliber 7138. This new movement is the result of five years of development and introduces a significant ergonomic upgrade: all calendar functions can now be adjusted entirely via the crown, eliminating the need for case-side correctors. This makes setting the perpetual calendar far more intuitive while maintaining the automatic adjustment of leap years.
The three models making their debut include a Code 11.59 Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar in 18k white gold with a smoked blue embossed dial and matching blue rubber-coated strap. The signature multi-layered case architecture of the Code 11.59 is finished with a mix of satin brushing and polished chamfers, giving it a distinctive look.
Next, there are two new Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar models in 41mm, one in stainless steel with a blue Grande Tapisserie dial and one in 18k Sand Gold, AP’s proprietary gold alloy that debuted in 2024, featuring a blend of gold, copper, and palladium that sits between white and pink gold.
The Sand Gold version is fully monochromatic, with the dial, subdials, and inner bezel all finished in matching tones, while the stainless steel model retains the classic blue-and-steel combination. As expected, both models maintain the familiar Royal Oak design elements, including the famed octagonal bezel and integrated bracelet.
All three models feature the moon phase at 6 o’clock, showcasing a photorealistic moon based on NASA imagery, and a redesigned dial layout for improved legibility. Additionally, each reference is also available as a limited-edition “Anniversary” model, with a total of 150 pieces per variation, distinguished by special commemorative engravings and a vintage-inspired “Audemars Piguet” logo within the moon phase subdial.
Make no mistake; the introduction of Caliber 7138 is a big deal. Audemars Piguet has streamlined one of its most intricate complications, making the normally cumbersome perpetual calendar much more user-friendly and opening the door for many more variations to join the brand’s catalog in the near future.

Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked “150th Anniversary” Limited Edition
Release Date: February 2025
Audemars Piguet is celebrating its 150th anniversary with a special version of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked, marking the final appearance of the self-winding Caliber 5135. This movement, which has powered the brand’s 41mm open-worked perpetual calendars for nearly a decade, takes its final bow in a limited run of 150 pieces. It makes sense that given AP has just announced a perpetual calendar that can be set from the winding crown without the need for finicky correctors, Caliber 5135 is now set to retire.
This commemorative model brings together cutting-edge materials and vintage-inspired design elements. The 41mm case and bracelet are primarily crafted from lightweight titanium, while the bezel, caseback frame, and bracelet studs are fashioned from Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG). A palladium-based alloy, BMG was first discovered in the 1960s and is now used in fields such as microelectronics and golf. Audemars Piguet first combined titanium with BMG for the pièce unique Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin timepiece destined for Only Watch in 2021. Other AP watches using BMG joined the brand’s catalog a few years later.
The open-worked dial of this 2025 Audemars Piguet model takes inspiration from a historic perpetual calendar pocket watch (ref. 25729) housed at the company’s museum. A sapphire dial showcases the intricate movement beneath, while the blue brass inner bezel and subdial rings echo the pocket watch’s aesthetic. The silver-gray hour markers take on a refined round shape, mirroring the brilliant-cut diamonds used in the original reference. Blue hands in 18k white gold, filled with luminescent material, ensure legibility against the intricate dial.
Audemars Piguet has also given special attention to the moon phase at 6 o’clock, which like the three new perpetual calendar watches we covered above, incorporates a photorealistic lunar depiction based on NASA imagery. However, this time, the perpetual calendar function features two moons, to allow for a precise representation of the lunar cycle as seen from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The caseback of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked 150th Anniversary Limited Edition watch includes two engravings marking the brand’s 150th anniversary, along with the limited-edition designation “1 of 150 pieces,” reinforcing its significance in Audemars Piguet’s milestone year.

Ceramic Royal Oak Offshore Chronographs
Release Date: February 2025
Audemars Piguet continues its expansion of ceramic in the Royal Oak Offshore collection with two new Selfwinding Chronographs, each taking a distinct approach to the material. The first is a 43mm model that introduces green ceramic into this diameter for the first time, pairing a black ceramic case with a bezel, crown, and pushers in green ceramic. The second is a 42mm version that goes fully monochromatic with an all-black ceramic case and bracelet.
The Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 43mm model features a dark green Méga Tapisserie dial, a black inner bezel, and snailed subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, maintaining the bold, high-contrast aesthetic that defines the Offshore lineup. The white gold hands and hour markers, filled with luminescent material in a silver-gray tone, ensure legibility. The titanium caseback, push-piece guards, and bracelet studs add further contrast to the black and green color scheme. This version is powered by the in-house Caliber 4401 flyback chronograph movement, which boasts an integrated column wheel and vertical clutch system for smooth chronograph operation. The watch is fitted with a dark green textured leather strap, complete with an interchangeable strap system, and comes with an additional black rubber strap.
The Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 42mm black ceramic version, on the other hand, adopts a stealthy approach. Everything — from the case and bracelet to the Méga Tapisserie dial and subdials — is black, with only the hexagonal steel screws on the bezel and the applied AP logo providing subtle contrast. Even the 18k white gold hands and hour markers are blackened, filled with gray luminescent material to maintain nighttime visibility. The movement inside this version is the Caliber 4404, a flyback chronograph movement similar to the 4401 but adapted for the 42mm Offshore case dimensions. A black ceramic bracelet with a titanium folding clasp completes the package.
Both models offer 100 meters of water resistance and feature a sapphire caseback showcasing their respective movements, including the 22k pink gold oscillating weights. With ceramic now a core material in the Offshore collection, these new 2025 Audemars Piguet releases reinforce the brand’s ongoing commitment to material innovation.

2025 Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Grande Sonnerie Carillon Supersonnerie “150th Anniversary”
Release Date: February 2025
Arguably some of the most stunning 2025 Audemars Piguet releases yet are the Grande Sonnerie Carillon Supersonnerie “150th Anniversary” models: two models with iridescent harlequin opal dials and four models with sapphire dials.
The Code 11.59 Grande Sonnerie Supersonnerie models represent a significant horological achievement, even for AP. Introduced in 2020, they combine the traditional Grande Sonnerie complication with the innovative Supersonnerie technology, first unveiled in 2015 within the Royal Oak Concept collection.
The Supersonnerie enhances the acoustic performance of chiming watches, offering louder and clearer chimes through patented case and gong construction. Powered by the hand-wound Calibre 2956, these watches feature a Grande Sonnerie, Petite Sonnerie, and minute repeater, with every component meticulously crafted and assembled by a small team of master watchmakers. Although the prices are “on request,” the fair market value of each of these 150th Anniversary models will probably be in the half-million dollar ballpark. Here are all the specs.

Code 11.59 Watches in “Shades of Grey”
Release Date: February 2025
Audemars Piguet continues to expand its stainless steel Code 11.59 collection with two new 41mm models, both featuring a monochromatic grey color scheme (dubbed Shades of Grey) accented by touches of “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50.” Available as a Selfwinding model and a Selfwinding Chronograph, these watches follow the stainless steel introductions of 2023.
Both models share the same 41mm stainless steel case, featuring AP’s signature mix of satin-brushed and polished finishes that emphasize the collection’s contemporary architecture. The dials, finished in slate grey, showcase the intricate embossed pattern developed in collaboration with Swiss guilloché artisan Yann von Kaenel, a signature element of the collection. Inspired by ripples of water, this detailed pattern enhances the depth and texture of the dial, while the “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” accents on the inner bezel and chronograph counters (on the Chronograph model) provide a subtle contrast. The hands and applied indices are crafted from 18k white gold and filled with luminescent material for enhanced readability.
Completing the look, these stainless steel Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet watches are paired with grey textured rubber straps with calfskin lining, secured with stainless steel pin buckles.
The time and date Selfwinding model houses the Caliber 4302, displaying hours, minutes, center seconds, and date, while the Selfwinding Chronograph is powered by Caliber 4401, an integrated flyback chronograph movement. Both automatic movements offer a 70-hour power reserve and feature a 22k pink gold rotor, visible through the sapphire caseback.

Code 11.59 Selfwinding Chronograph “Tuscany” Special Edition
Release Date: February 2025
Audemars Piguet has introduced a fresh take on the Code 11.59 Selfwinding Chronograph for 2025 with the “Tuscany” Special Edition — a striking combination of blue ceramic and 18k white gold. This is the first time the collection features a Tuscany blue grained dial, a textured finish reminiscent of sandblasting that enhances the depth and play of light across the surface. The blue dial is paired with snailed blue chronograph subdials and set with baguette-cut diamond hour markers, adding some sparkle to the sporty layout.
The 41mm case follows the signature Code 11.59 design with a blue ceramic case middle, framed by polished and satin-finished white gold lugs, bezel, and caseback. As always, the craftsmanship is meticulous, with alternating brushed and polished surfaces showcasing AP’s attention to detail. Completing the aesthetic is a blue rubber-coated strap with a calfskin lining and a white gold pin buckle.
Inside, the in-house Caliber 4409 powers this special edition. This self-winding flyback chronograph movement operates at 4 Hz (28,800 vph) and offers a 70-hour power reserve. Visible through the exhibition caseback, the movement includes a 22k gold oscillating weight. Audemars Piguet will launch the Code 11.59 Chronograph Tuscany Special Edition exclusively in North America in March 2025, followed by a global release two months later.

Code 11.59 Flying Tourbillon 38mm
Release Date: February 2025
As part of the 2025 Audemars Piguet releases, the brand has unveiled the Code 11.59 Flying Tourbillon 38mm, marking the first time this complication appears in the smaller-cased Code 11.59 lineup. The 38mm case is crafted from 18k Sand Gold, and for contrast and added brilliance, the case is set with 235 brilliant-cut diamonds (~ 1.2 carats) spanning the case middle, lugs, and crown.
Of course, as a Code 11.59 watch, the signature octagonal-shaped case middle wedged between the bezel and caseback remains — as does the double-curved sapphire crystal. Going for a monochromatic look, Audemars Piguet opted to dress the Code 11.59 Flying Tourbillon 38mm with a Sand Gold-toned dial and matching alligator strap, complete with a Sand Gold clasp set with diamonds.
The open caseback reveals the ultra-thin Caliber 2968, an automatic movement that drives the flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock. The 22k pink gold rotor, finished in a Sand Gold tone to match the rest of the watch, supplies a 50-hour power reserve.
