At just 9.7mm in height, the [Re]Master02 is amazingly slim despite the Brutalist style chunky aesthetic. This is made possible thanks to its movement, the extra-thin Caliber 7129 proffering hours and minutes. Doing away with the date indication would be a decision that proves popular among the collectors, and it enables Audemars Piguet to keep the height of the movement to a scant 2.8mm.
Not only extra-thin, Caliber 7129 is also extra-powerful, proffering a 52-hour power reserve as a result of a new construction and larger mainspring barrel. In addition, inertia blocks have been inserted into the thickness of the balance wheel to prevent aerodynamic friction from slowing it down. Add to that a 28,800vph frequency which affords a reasonably optimized chronometric precision, and an oscillating weight, mounted on ball bearings, equipped with two reversers to ensure bidirectional winding, and we can say with certainty that Caliber 7129 (based on Caliber 7121) is a highly qualitative movement indeed.
