The 5548 was her playground from which she went on to design a vast number of magnificent models and variations. The reference 5548 is famously the first wristwatch to be fitted with the ultra-thin calibre 2120/2800 and went on to become a huge success for the company, the most prolific perpetual calendar in its time for Audemars Piguet, selling at its peak 675 examples in a single year.
