AP Royal Oak 26585CM.OO.D301VE.01 Travis Scott Cactus Jack Perpetual Calendar Openworks Limited Edition 200 Pieces
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26585CM.OO.D301VE.01 Travis Scott Cactus Jack Perpetual Calendar is an extraordinary fusion of haute horlogerie and modern artistry, limited to just 200 pieces worldwide. Crafted in a groundbreaking brown ceramic, this special edition marks the first time Audemars Piguet has employed this innovative material, creating a timepiece that stands out both in aesthetics and engineering. The watch is a true testament to the bold creative vision of Travis Scott, infused with the unique Cactus Jack design language, making it a coveted collectors piece for both horology enthusiasts and Travis Scott fans alike.
The 41mm case, entirely fashioned from brown ceramic, exhibits the iconic Royal Oak design with its signature octagonal bezel and bold studs, finished with Audemars Piguets trademark satin-brushing and polished chamfers. The openworked sapphire dial reveals the intricacies of the perpetual calendar movement beneath, while the smoked external zones of the subdials and brown applied hour markers seamlessly blend modern style with traditional craftsmanship.
Distinctive Cactus Jack motifs are elegantly woven throughout the watchs design. The typography of the calendar and week indications is based on hand-drawn elements by Travis Scott, adding a personal and artistic touch. The day hand at 9 o’clock features the Cactus Jack logo, while the moon phase at 6 o’clock showcases the signature smiley face with its mouth sewn shut—a bold, luminescent detail that glows blue in the dark, contrasting the green luminescent coating of the other calendar indicators. This play of color creates a stunning visual effect at night, further emphasizing the watchs unique character.
Beneath the bold design lies Audemars Piguets exceptional self-winding Calibre 5135, a marvel of mechanical engineering. Visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, this openworked movement is decorated to perfection, highlighted by a 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight engraved with both the "Audemars Piguet" and "Cactus Jack" signatures. The combination of these two worlds is an ode to the collaboration between fine watchmaking and contemporary culture.
The watch is complemented by a brown calfskin strap, enhancing its tactile elegance, secured with a pink gold folding clasp that adds a luxurious finishing touch. The Royal Oak Cactus Jack Perpetual Calendar offers not only the full functionality of a perpetual calendar—day, date, week, month, leap year, and astronomical moon—but also a design steeped in artistic vision and individuality.
With its unprecedented use of brown ceramic, intricate details inspired by Travis Scott’s signature style, and the timeless sophistication of the Royal Oak collection, this limited edition of 200 pieces is more than just a watch—it’s a statement of creativity, innovation, and exclusivity. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26585CM.OO.D301VE.01 Cactus Jack Perpetual Calendar is a true masterpiece for those who seek both the art of fine watchmaking and the avant-garde energy of modern design.
