The subdial at the 12 o'clock position
Hi ik2000, thanks for the comments.
You're right! The small hand at the subdial at the 12 o'clock position is the year indicator. It shows which year it is in the leap year cycle. It has a slightly larger blued hand for the month. Here's a cropped picture of the subdial.
Cool that you have a RO chrono, I remember seeing your panda. It's an awesome color combo and yours looks great on the strap and bracelet.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Openworked Perpetual Calendar
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Openworked Perpetual Calendar 25829ST is still my favorite watch in my small collection. I wear it almost daily and throughout the year I look forward to the end of February for the transition of the date from February 28th o...
Great report ED!
Didn't know that the perpetual calentar had that feature!! Good to know!! Best! Ernesto
Thanks for checking it out
Thanks Ernesto! To me the perpetual calendar is easy to read and has been working great. Regards, ED-209
It is fascinating to see the Perpetual Calendar in action!
The RO Openwork Perpetual Calendar just made the experience even sweeter. Thanks for bringing us through this interesting transition :) Wayne
You're welcome
Thanks Wayne! It's a great experience to see the date transition. Glad I could share it with everyone here on PuristSPro. Regards, ED-209
Love this post!!
I always love looking at this piece of yours Ed, and thanks very much for showing the Feb 28th turnover! The small hand in the month subdial @ 12oçlock - is that the year indicator? And I agree, 39mm is a perfect size for the RO (I have the 39mm chrono). ...

Wonderfull watch, Ed!
... I like the dial, back full of engraving, and the blued hands.... It has everything you would need..... Wonderful photo report to understand the beauty of it. Thanks! Ken
Thank you ED for your great patience in taking these...
pictures, what a great watch this is. Cheers Francois from Down Under
A great watch
I love this watch and the platinum version is my grail. Wear it in good health.
The AP RO PC weight
Thanks hamish! interesting you mention the platinum version. On my steel version it is surprisingly lightweight. I have an older yellow gold AP RO PC (solid dial and caseback) that is very heavy. Regards, ED-209
I have a 26401 and it is a beast
I love the weight. After wearing a platinum AP it is hard to go back to any other metal. Platinum is just so versatile
you've made me enjoy mine even more...
.... such a great watch! Thanks for your report
Comparisons of the PC
Thanks Fricks, does your AP RO PC display the March 1st also near midnight? Would be cool to compare the performance of the change since we have several PuristS with this Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. Regards, ED-209
I always love seeing this one in action Ed.
Thanks for the post. I have Iron Maiden's "2 Minutes to Midnight" running through my head now! Never a bad thing for me :-) I must admit, I have always wondered what I would do on a custom rotor of a higher end AP. Family initials to pass down? Nope... I ...
Perfect size
Thanks Jerry! Hope we can do a group pic of AP RO PC in a GTG soon! I was wondering, on your AP Perpetual Calendars do they also turn the date display around midnight? Regards, ED-209
For me, the most beautiful Royal Oak of all ...
I am a big fan of this skeletonized perpetual, it embodies all I adore in the craft of watchmaking! Marcus
IMHO the best Royal Oak Perpetual
and remains to be on my wish list for long. I would do a custom rotor with personal initials on it (which Ap offers). Fantastic collage of pictures and wear this rare beauty in best of all health ! Ovi
