After the groundbreaking introduction of the black ceramic Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in 2017, one that took the watch community by storm, Audemars Piguet followed up in 2019 with a white ceramic iteration. The incredibly time-consuming construction and finishing of the ceramic case and bracelet takes a total of 600 hours of expert craftsmanship. The mirror-like edges on the bezel and links create a subtle yet sensational contrast to the evenly brushed finishes on the case and bracelet. Along with the traditional calendar functions, the present Royal Oak features a 52 week indication as well as a stunning moonphase display- depicted by a photorealistic moon on an iridescent aventurine background. The ceramic perpetual calendar has been spotted on the wrist of celebrities and entertainers, and is widely considered one of the hottest modern watches available.

In an exuberant celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet introduced the ceramic Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in a new, audacious color: a deep azure blue. Absolutely striking, it’s a jubilant monument to this game changing model, and the present example is the first appearance of the model at auction following its debut in August of 2022. It is brand new and unworn, with all of its original accessories – one of the most exciting releases of the year with an extremely selective allocation process. This particular example is further set apart as a never before seen special order, with a skeletonized rotor featuring the Eiffel Tour indicating the birthplace of this watch as the City of Lights: Paris, France.

All proceeds exceeding the cost for the consignor will be donated to charities supporting access to medical care for families in need and orphanages.
