Full-Cataloguing
- Automatic, perpetual calendar, moon phases, week indication, leap year indication
- 300 pieces limited edition for the Japanese market
- Incredibly attractive combination of brushed titanium case and salmon tapisserie dial
- Virtually “as new” condition and full set
Originally launched in December 2020 with 150 pieces reserved exclusively for the Japanese market, this Royal Oak iteration enjoyed such success among the worldwide Audemars Piguet collectors’ community that, in the summer of the following year, 150 additional pieces were released for the global market.
It is defined by the salmon Tapisserie dial, which beautifully contrasts with the titanium case. Not only is the chromatic effect enormously seductive, but the titanium case also grants the watch a featherlight weight. Collectors accustomed to gold or platinum perpetual calendar Royal Oaks will struggle to believe their senses when picking up this version—not to mention the equally surprising experience of wearing it on the wrist.
The present example is offered in exceptional, close-to-“as-new” condition and comes complete with its box and warranty—a proposition sure to delight both the dedicated collector seeking a hard-to-source complicated masterpiece and the casual enthusiast seeking an exquisitely beautiful and elegant wrist candy.
