What is the RD Project?

Before delving into the RD#5, I want to give you a more intuitive understanding of Audemars Piguet's hardcore watchmaking capabilities. To do this, we need to talk about Audemars Piguet's "RD Project."

"RD" stands for Research and Development. This project is specifically dedicated to exploring and developing innovative structures for complex watches, and it is one of the most advanced and sophisticated special research and development projects in the watchmaking field. The core leaders of the RD project are Audemars Piguet's top complex function watchmaking masters – such as Giulio Papi, Audemars Piguet's Director of Watchmaking Design and head of the APRP advanced movement factory, and Lucas Raggi, Audemars Piguet's Global Industrial Officer. Therefore, any watch with "RD" in its name is essentially stamped with the label of "Audemars Piguet's pinnacle of watchmaking technology." To date, the RD series has launched five timepieces, each with its own unique features, representing significant breakthroughs in the evolution of complex watchmaking. For example, in 2015, the groundbreaking RD#1 Super Repeater Minute Repeater watch, the first in the RD series, innovatively incorporated a new structure and resonance technology into the chiming function. This not only resulted in a louder and clearer sound for the minute repeater but also directly led the direction of modern minute repeater technology research.

In 2018, Audemars Piguet showcased its watchmaking prowess again with the RD#2 Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar. By optimizing the movement structure, such as innovating the traditional multi-layered program wheel into a single layer, the thickness of the automatic perpetual calendar movement was "compressed" to an astonishing 2.89 millimeters, with a total watch thickness of 6.3 millimeters. This breakthrough halved the thickness of traditional perpetual calendar watches and naturally became the world's thinnest automatic winding perpetual calendar watch at the time.

In 2019, Audemars Piguet followed up with the RD#3 Ultra-Thin Flying Tourbillon watch. Thanks to its revolutionary rotor and tourbillon structure, it successfully reduced the overall thickness of the watch, achieving a thickness of 8.1 millimeters in the classic Jumbo case, with a movement thickness of 3.4 millimeters, redefining the industry's perception of "thin" for automatic winding tourbillon fake swiss watches.

In 2024, the culmination of the RD series, the RD#4 Ultra-Complicated watch, was unveiled, boasting astonishing integration capabilities. Even with over 40 functions, such as grande sonnerie, perpetual calendar, tourbillon, and the minute repeater resonance technology inherited from RD#1, it perfectly combined the automatic rotor and split-seconds chronograph structure, ultimately maintaining a size of 42 mm in diameter and 15.5 mm in thickness. This size, considering the numerous complex functions, is simply incredible.

Looking back at each timepiece in the Audemars Piguet RD project, each one has allowed Audemars Piguet to achieve technological breakthroughs and even secure several industry firsts.

Now, in 2025, coinciding with the 150th anniversary of the Audemars Piguet brand, the RD#5 arrives! Its technological core lies in a significant innovation in the timing function, employing an unprecedented timing mechanism that allows this watch to simultaneously possess automatic winding, a tourbillon, and chronograph functions, while maintaining a compact size and ultra-thin profile suitable for everyday wear, along with an exceptional feel during chronograph operation. This perfectly balances complex functions with practical wearability.

Unprecedented Chronograph Structure

With the RD#5, we can directly see just how impressive Audemars Piguet's watchmaking technology is! Housed in the classic Royal Oak Jumbo's iconic 39mm diameter and ultra-thin 8.1mm thick case, it features the new Calibre 8100 movement, with a total diameter of 31.4mm (14 lignes) and a total thickness of only 4mm, while still providing a minimum power reserve of 72 hours.

What does this size mean? It's thinner and more compact than most conventional two-hand and three-hand watches on the market. In fact, the RD#5's dimensions are exactly the same as Audemars Piguet's most classic and original two-hand JUMBO 16202 – the 16202 is also 39mm in diameter and 8.1mm thick. The two are identical in size, yet this is a tourbillon flyback chronograph, demonstrating the incredible technology involved.

The RD#5 is a true tourbillon chronograph watch. Even ordinary automatic winding chronographs struggle to achieve a thickness under 10mm, let alone Audemars Piguet's impressive feat of adding a floating tourbillon. To achieve this, the brand specifically developed two new chronograph structures, resulting in this technological breakthrough.

The first new chronograph structure consists of three sets of rack-and-pinion reset mechanisms, each corresponding to a different chronograph hand. Audemars Piguet drew inspiration from retrograde indicator structures when creating this reset mechanism, using a new chronograph rack similar to those found in retrograde structures, replacing the traditional heart-shaped cam used in conventional chronographs. Traditional chronographs use a heart-shaped cam mechanism to reset the chronograph hand to zero. However, this heart-shaped cam has had a small problem for many years: when pressing the reset button, the reset hammer lever requires considerable force to push the heart-shaped cam. Because the heart-shaped cam has an irregular shape, resetting it and returning the chronograph hand to zero requires even greater force. Therefore, pressing the reset button on traditional chronographs often requires significant effort. fake Audemars Piguet watches

To address this ergonomic issue, Audemars Piguet innovatively developed a sliding rack and pinion system, significantly optimizing the feel of the chronograph's reset function. How does it work? See the animation above: when the chronograph starts, the rack corresponding to the chronograph seconds hand moves forward continuously. When the timing reaches 1 minute, the rack reaches the end and automatically jumps back to its starting position, then repeats this continuous cycle of "forward movement—reaching the end—returning to the starting position" every minute. Meanwhile, the rack corresponding to the chronograph minute hand also moves forward in conjunction, continuously cycling until the stop button is pressed, and then the reset button is pressed, causing the rack to slide the chronograph gear and reset the seconds hand to zero.

Audemars Piguet provides a set of data on the button pressing force for comparison: most chronograph buttons require approximately 1.5 kilograms of force to move them one millimeter. Watch enthusiasts have encountered many chronographs in their daily lives and have certainly experienced chronographs with particularly stiff buttons that require considerable force to press. Everyone understands that feeling of effort.

Audemars Piguet's goal was to achieve a button operation force 10 to 25 times lighter than ordinary chronographs, while also making the button travel shorter. Ultimately, the RD#5 achieved a button travel of approximately 0.3 millimeters, requiring only 300 grams of force to easily activate. To provide a more intuitive understanding, Audemars Piguet used a readily relatable example: the watchmakers in the RD project directly used the feel of a smartphone button as a template. You can try it now with your own phone; pressing the side button feels almost identical to the chronograph button on the RD#5. To emphasize the unique and lightweight feel of the watch, Audemars Piguet designed the RD#5's chronograph buttons to be small and light, resembling the buttons on a smartphone. They are subtly hidden on the side of the case, making the overall design more cohesive and user-friendly.

Furthermore, Audemars Piguet incorporated a "gear shift button" into the crown of the RD#5, specifically for switching between winding and time setting. This function selector button is also a classic Audemars Piguet design, found in many Royal Oak Concept models, and similar configurations are present in the high-end complex movements that Audemars Piguet's APRP movement factory produces for Richard Mille. Its biggest advantage is convenience; there's no need to repeatedly pull out the crown to adjust or wind the watch, making operation much smoother. Both the chronograph buttons and the crown function selector demonstrate that the RD#5 prioritizes practicality. https://www.grand-watch.co
