Premium Black Ceramic Case

The 41mm case and integrated bracelet are made from high-tech black ceramic. This advanced material is highly resistant to scratches while remaining lightweight and comfortable on the wrist.

Every surface is finished by hand using a combination of satin brushing and polishing. These meticulous finishing techniques highlight the signature Royal Oak design and demonstrate Audemars Piguet’s exceptional attention to detail.

The iconic octagonal bezel is secured with polished white gold screws, giving the watch its unmistakable appearance.

Elegant Slate Grey Grande Tapisserie Dial

The slate grey Grande Tapisserie dial features Audemars Piguet’s famous textured pattern, adding depth and sophistication.

Black subdials provide excellent contrast and improve readability. White gold applied hour markers and luminous Royal Oak hands ensure the time remains easy to read in both daylight and low-light conditions.

The dial displays a complete perpetual calendar, including:

• Day of the week
• Date
• Month
• Week of the year
• Leap year indicator
• Moon phase display

Despite offering multiple complications, the dial remains clean, balanced, and easy to read.

Audemars Piguet Calibre 5134 Automatic Movement

Powering the watch is the Audemars Piguet Calibre 5134, an ultra-thin self-winding mechanical movement developed specifically for the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar collection.

The movement delivers approximately 40 hours of power reserve while maintaining exceptional accuracy and reliability.

Visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, the movement showcases beautifully finished bridges, decorative engraving, and the fine craftsmanship that defines Swiss haute horlogerie.

Advanced Perpetual Calendar Complication

The perpetual calendar automatically adjusts for different month lengths and leap years.

Under normal operation, the calendar does not require manual correction until the year 2100. This sophisticated complication reflects Audemars Piguet’s long-standing expertise in producing highly complicated mechanical watches.

Built for Everyday Luxury

The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is fitted with an integrated black ceramic bracelet that provides both durability and exceptional comfort.

A titanium folding clasp offers a secure fit while maintaining the lightweight feel of the watch.

Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects both the dial and exhibition caseback, while 20 meters of water resistance provides protection during everyday wear.
