Wow...AP has always done some of the best dials in the business...

Some of my favorite perpetual calendars from AP
AP has been doing this complication so well and in so diverse ways over the years. Some comprehensive articles have been written on this topic: for example here by Wei Koh and here by JX Su . HAGWE! Edward Piguet ref. 25682BA credit: CCNY Millenary ref. 2...
I'm personally not into openwork dials, but
this variant is certainly great for those who like such dials! Thanks for looking.
Well, as someone who loves the yellow golden Ellipse and piña colada 🍹...
