Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked "Cactus Jack" – Ref. 26585CM.OO.D301VE.01 – Brown Ceramic – Limited Edition of 200 Pieces – Box, Papers & Invoice 2024 – Unworn

We are proud to present one of the most exclusive and sought-after modern creations from Audemars Piguet: the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked "Cactus Jack", Ref. 26585CM.OO.D301VE.01. Produced in a strictly limited edition of only 200 pieces worldwide, this extraordinary timepiece celebrates the collaboration between Audemars Piguet and internationally acclaimed artist Travis Scott, seamlessly blending contemporary culture with the highest level of Swiss haute horlogerie.

Crafted from brown ceramic, a material introduced for the very first time by Audemars Piguet on a Royal Oak, this exceptional watch combines the legendary Royal Oak design with one of the manufacture's most celebrated complications: the ultra-thin openworked perpetual calendar. Every detail has been carefully reimagined exclusively for this limited edition, from the distinctive skeletonized architecture to the custom calendar typography inspired by Travis Scott's own handwriting, making this reference instantly recognizable to collectors worldwide.

The iconic 41 mm Royal Oak case features the unmistakable octagonal bezel with its signature polished white gold screws, while the rich brown ceramic construction offers exceptional scratch resistance alongside remarkably lightweight wearing comfort. The perfectly executed combination of satin-brushed and mirror-polished surfaces showcases Audemars Piguet's unrivalled expertise in ceramic finishing.

The spectacular sapphire dial reveals the beautifully skeletonized Calibre 5135, allowing an unobstructed view of the intricate perpetual calendar mechanism. The smoked calendar counters create outstanding depth and contrast, while subtle green and blue luminescent accents provide a contemporary interpretation of one of the manufacture's most revered movements. Every bridge, wheel and component has been meticulously hand-finished, demonstrating the extraordinary craftsmanship for which Audemars Piguet is renowned.

Powering the watch is the in-house automatic Calibre 5135, an ultra-thin perpetual calendar movement displaying the day, date, month, leap year, week indication and astronomical moon phase. Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the movement is finished to the highest standards with hand-bevelled bridges, polished edges and refined decorative techniques, representing one of the final executions of this iconic calibre before its retirement. Completing the display is the exclusive 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight, engraved with Travis Scott's unmistakable Cactus Jack emblem.

The watch is fitted with its original brown calfskin strap and matching Audemars Piguet folding clasp, perfectly complementing the warm tones of the ceramic case while preserving the originality of this highly collectible reference.
