In 2018, Audemars Piguet showcased its watchmaking prowess once again with the RD#2 Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar. By optimizing the movement structure, such as reducing the traditional multi-layered program wheel to a single layer, the thickness of the automatic perpetual calendar movement was compressed to an astonishing 2.89 mm, with the overall watch thickness at only 6.3 mm. This breakthrough halved the thickness of traditional perpetual calendar watches, making it the thinnest automatic perpetual calendar watch in the world at the time.

In 2019, Audemars Piguet followed up with the RD#3 Ultra-Thin Floating Tourbillon. Thanks to its revolutionary rotor and tourbillon structure, it successfully reduced the overall thickness of the watch, achieving a case thickness of only 8.1 mm and a movement thickness of 3.4 mm within the classic Jumbo case, redefining the industry's imagination of what an "thin" automatic tourbillon watch could be.
In 2024, the culmination of the RD series—the RD#4 Grand Complication watch—was unveiled, its integration capabilities truly astonishing. Even with over 40 functions, such as grande and petite sonnerie, perpetual calendar, tourbillon, and minute repeater resonance technology inherited from RD#1, and a perfect combination of automatic rotor and split-seconds chronograph structure, the size is still controlled at 42mm diameter and 15.5mm thickness.
In 2025, coinciding with Audemars Piguet's 150th anniversary, the RD#5 was born! Its core technology is a major innovation in the chronograph function. With an unprecedented chronograph structure, this watch can simultaneously have automatic winding, tourbillon, and chronograph functions, while also achieving a compact size suitable for everyday wear, an ultra-thin thickness, and an ultimate chronograph operation feel, completely achieving a perfect balance between complicated functions and wearability.
