Introducing: A Trio Of New Perpetual Calendars, And A New Openworked Version Of Audemars Piguet’s Newest Perpetual Calendar Movement

Next up is the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked ref. 26685XT.OO.1320XT.01, encased in titanium and Bulk Metallic Glass. Like last year’s farewell edition, here the main case is crafted in titanium, with fully polished BMG bezel and bracelet studs for a subtle two-tone look. Like with the Code, a black rehaut accommodates the 52-week indications, and a smoked sapphire minutes track and outer subdial registers help a bit with legibility of the printed text for the perpetual calendar. But that’s where the similarities end, since on this Royal Oak, the four registers are surrounded by pink gold, matched with pink gold applied indices and a pink gold handset. The photorealistic moons on the moonphase are also given a warm, rosy hue, set in front of a blue aventurine background.
