THE COMPLETE LIST OF MODELS
FROM 1978 TO 1993
This list is the result of the manual and thorough analysis of the production registers. It brings together all the
watches fitted with the calibre 2120/2800 movement
manufactured for 15 years beginning with the launch of
reference 5548 in 1978. In addition, 108 documentary
pictures from the Audemars Piguet archives illustrate
the most significant versions of each model.
The list goes as far as 1993, for that year marked the
dawn of a new era. The quartz crisis had come to an end
by then, and with it the pioneering role of the calibre
2120/2800 movement. The company thus reintroduced
the indication of the leap year cycle with the calibre
2120/2802, the manufacture of which started in 1993
to gradually replace the calibre 2120/2800. Perpetual
calendar underdial plates were also created for other
basic movements, including the calibre 2003/2805, sold
from 1993, and the calibre 2132/2805. Furthermore

the calendar was combined with other complications:
with chronograph (calibre 2126/1839), with minuterepeater (calibre 2867/2807), and with new functions
including the annual calendar (calibre 2224/2814)
and the day-date (notably the calibre 2127/2827).
In short, there’s enough material here to fill another
book devoted to all that has occurred and has continued to be developed and introduced since 1993.
