Audemars Piguet Unveils Its Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in White Gold

Audemars Piguet has just released a new Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar timepiece in a 41mm white gold build with opulent purple details.

Featuring an 18-carat white gold case and a bezel set with baguette-cut diamonds, the face, and caseback of the watch are outfitted with glare-proof sapphire crystal. Continuing with the color scheme, the bracelet – also in 18-carat white gold – is fitted with AP’s signature folding clasp, while white gold hour-markers and indexes bring a mystical contrast to the purple Grande Tapisserie dial.

Running on AP’s self-winding 5134 Calibre, the watch offers up to 40 hours of power reserve as well as 20 meters of water resistance. As a Perpetual Calendar model, the timepiece provides a complete indication of hours, minutes, day, week, date, moon, month and leap year.

The new AP Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar watch (ref. 26598BC.ZZ.1220BC.01) is available now with the pricing provided upon request.⁠ Take a closer look at the timepiece in the gallery above and head over to Audemars Piguet’s website for more information.
