The Best Watch of 2025 - Audemars Piguet RD#5

 The RD#5 is Audemars Piguet's latest complicated watch, released in 2025, while the Royal Oak 26222 grand complication movement was introduced in 1996. Nearly 30 years separate these two watches, highlighting Audemars Piguet's innovation in complicated watch functions. The core technology of the RD#5 lies in its significant innovation in the chronograph function; its chronograph mechanism is virtually unheard of before.

So why did the RD#5 make this innovation in the chronograph function? Let's look at the RD#5 here. You can see it's 39mm in size and 8.1mm thick, extremely compact and thin for a complicated watch, almost identical in size to the famous Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo 16202. Audemars Piguet's goal was to accommodate a tourbillon and chronograph within such a compact and ultra-thin form factor.

The RD5 is even thinner than the regular Royal Oak 15500 with its three hands, so it's even thinner than the Offshore Chronograph and the 15mm thick 26222BC, which are almost half the thickness. The RD5, while featuring automatic winding, a tourbillon, and chronograph functions, also boasts a comfortable, compact size, ultra-thin profile, and excellent chronograph operation. This is the main achievement of this structural innovation. Audemars Piguet used two "completely new" chronograph mechanisms: 1. A new rack-and-pinion zeroing mechanism; 2. A new vertical clutch mechanism.
