Audemars Piguet "Calendar 2100", Case No. N 0029, Height 138 mm, circa 1980
A decorative perpetual table calendar with moon phase
Case: brass, gilt. Dial: silvered.
There is no time like the present – The mechanism of this "perpetual calendar" is only programmed until the year 2100, when it will fall victim to the much-maligned planned obsolescence. Until then, however, it will gracefully adorn any type of writing desk; the calendar has no movement or power system and all five indications are set simultaneously by a daily press of the button.
