Here’s how Audemars Piguet is celebrating its landmark 150th anniversary
By Shivani Dubey | 5 March 2025 | Design
As luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet celebrates its landmark 150th anniversary, the brand has unveiled new watches and an exhibition to mark the occasion
Luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet is turning 150, and to celebrate this landmark anniversary, the brand has announced a special exhibition at the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet in Le Brassus.
Titled ‘The House of Wonders’, the exhibition invites the public to discover the brand’s history through the lens of those who shaped it with their passion, know-how, and meticulous craftmanship. Appealing to watchmaking experts and novices alike, this engaging – and at times moving – exhibition will run until the end of 2026.
A variation of the exhibition will also be presented in Shanghai in May and in Dubai in November of this year.

Musée Atelier will also be hosting three masterclasses, taking guests through Audemars Piguet’s rich history with select pieces from its heritage collection. It will also be welcoming children aged 8 to 12 to step into the shoes of watchmakers and dive into the world of watchmaking.
In honour of its 150th anniversary, Audemars Piguet is also releasing a new generation of selfwinding perpetual calendar movement, Calibre 7138. For the first time ever, it enhances user comfort by making the corrections of all functions possibly via its “all-in-one” crown.
The brand has also unveiled the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked “150th Anniversary” limited edition watch for the occasion. It reflects the brand’s rich legacy in design, material and technical exploration.

This timepiece is the last to be equipped with Calibre 5135 and gracefully bids farewell to the movement that has powered the Manufacture’s 41mm open worked selfwinding perpetual calendar wristwatches for nearly a decade.
Other watches being released by the brand for its 150th anniversary include two new Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet references in stainless steel, a 38mm Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon and two new Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph timepieces.
