The protruding sections of around its circumference represent 31-day months, and the notches those of 30 days.

The impeccable mirror-polished finish of the gear train and the use of 38 top-quality jewels enables optimal transmission of the force from the barrel to the escapement.

DESCRIPTION
- While the slender elegance of the ultra-thin profile of this watch is truly fascinating, it is even more surprising when one considers that such a slim case houses a movement capable of indicating the day, the date, the month, the moon phases and the leap-year cycle thanks to a mechanism barely 4 mm thick! This exceptional timepiece appears to have captured the sparkling magic of the stars. In 1978, Audemars Piguet launched the very first ultra-thin selfwinding perpetual calendar model.
