Audemars Piguet has long been celebrated for its groundbreaking craftsmanship and the enduring allure of its Royal Oak collection. While the Royal Oak first revolutionized watchmaking in 1972, it wasn’t until 1982 that the maison introduced the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar, combining its mastery of perpetual calendar complications with the now-iconic octagonal design. This innovative fusion quickly became a cornerstone of modern horology and a highly sought-after reference among collectors.
In 2015, Audemars Piguet unveiled the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar reference 26574, a contemporary reimagining of this legendary model. Featuring a larger 41mm stainless steel case and the self-winding caliber 5134, the ref. 26574 offers a bold wrist presence while maintaining a slim, comfortable profile. Its striking blue "Grande Tapisserie" dial, paired with refined white gold indices, enhances both legibility and elegance. The addition of a 52-week indicator and a photorealistic moonphase at 6 o’clock, complete with a starry night sky, underscores Audemars Piguet’s commitment to technical precision and artistic detail.
This stainless steel ref. 26574 is among the most desirable configurations of the model, blending timeless design with modern proportions. Offered in excellent condition, it presents a rare opportunity for discerning collectors to own a true icon of Audemars Piguet’s storied legacy. With its impeccable craftsmanship and enduring appeal, this timepiece is destined to be cherished for generations.
