Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar

The perpetual calendar has a special place in the Royal Oak collection. Back in 1921, Audemars Piguet was one of the first, if not the first, to manufacture a wrist-worn watch with a perpetual calendar. In addition, this complication is applicable to almost all materials used in Royal Oak, which is a testament to its importance. Lastly, the ceramic Royal Oak is another specialty that sold out as soon as it hit the market. It has to be said that the movement used is very comprehensive, the inner ring displays the weekly calendar, and the astronomical precision moon phase display. The combination of all these factors gives the final monochromatic character that Reference 2679 is completely blue. A bright, vibrant blue that is neither charged nor dark. What's more, this hue graces every element of the dial, from the base to the raised Grande Tapisserie motif, to the date counter and inner bezel. The variety of textures, depths and materials creates a rhythm that is not diminished by the overall uniformity of color. While PVD-coated dials are hard-pressed to achieve the same blue hue as ceramics, that's exactly what Audemars Piguet has achieved here, and it's a rare achievement that deserves a special mention.
