Fratello Talks: Audemars Piguet In 2025
Today, on Fratello Talks, we’re discussing Audemars Piguet. The brand is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2025 and has kicked things off by introducing a selection of new models earlier this week. Lex was in Le Brassus to report on the novelties, and Nacho and RJ now join him for this week’s discussion. They begin by looking at said novelties and wrap things up by sharing their thoughts on the brand’s current direction and whether they’ve felt the influence of recently appointed CEO Ilaria Resta yet. But before jumping into it, let’s see what the guys are wearing on their wrists.

Fratello Talks: Audemars Piguet In 2025
Audemars Piguet is hitting a significant milestone this year, with 2025 marking the 150th anniversary of the Le Brassus brand’s founding. We got a taste of what AP has in store for us this year just earlier this week. You can read all about the newly released models in Lex’s article here. These include a new movement and dial redesign for the perpetual calendars, a new successor to the Royal Oak Offshore “Beast,” and several new faces in the Code 11.59 family. It’s also worth mentioning that the perpetual calendars will be available with a cursive logo but only during the anniversary year. We won’t give away any more, so you’ll have to tune in to hear how the guys feel about these latest releases.
As always, leave your thoughts on these latest APs in the comments section below. Tune in next week for a new episode of Fratello Talks!
