Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26574OR.OO.1220OR.02 – 18K Rose Gold Blue Grande Tapisserie

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26574OR.OO.1220OR.02, crafted entirely in 18K rose gold, represents one of the most celebrated contemporary complications in the Royal Oak family. Released circa 2015, this reference blends Gérald Genta’s iconic Royal Oak design heritage with AP’s world-class haute horlogerie, housing a fully integrated perpetual calendar, precise astronomical moonphase, and the refined ultra-thin Caliber 5134. Its striking blue “Grande Tapisserie” dial paired with the warm glow of rose gold makes it one of the most desirable Perpetual Calendar models on the market.

This Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is presented in a 41mm 18K rose gold case, meticulously finished with Audemars Piguet’s signature mix of brushed surfaces and polished bevels. The iconic octagonal bezel, secured with eight white-gold screws, gives the watch its instantly recognizable architectural presence. The integrated 18K rose gold bracelet, finished to perfection with AP’s seamless link construction, enhances both comfort and luxury.

The centerpiece is the deep blue Grande Tapisserie dial, a hallmark texture executed by traditional guilloché techniques unique to the Royal Oak line. The dial features four symmetrically arranged subdials displaying the day, date, month, and leap year, each ringed for clarity and balance. The astronomical moonphase at 6 o’clock, crafted with laser-etched precision, adds visual depth and mechanical sophistication. Pink-gold applied hour markers and matching Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating complete the ensemble, ensuring superb legibility against the textured blue surface.

A sapphire crystal caseback reveals the movement in all its detail, while the screw-locked crown offers security and practicality.
