Audemars Piguet X Travis Scott Present The New Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Cactus Jack
The new Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar ‘Cactus Jack’ Limited Edition is the latest collaboration with the prestigious Swiss watch brand Audemars Piguet and North American rapper Travis Scott.
The singer, who has numerous collaborations with different clothing brands and beyond, is now delving into watches through his ‘Cactus Jack’, a record label.
The exclusive 200-piece watch, which comes dressed in a chocolate brown ceramic case, comes with a dial full of the artist’s unique personal touches.
The 41mm diameter and 9.90mm thick case features the traditional octagonal bezel secured by eight white gold screws and whose formula is repeated on the back of the case, sapphire crystal on both faces, a 6-sided crown with the signature brand and a 20m water resistance.
The open-worked sapphire dial is where everything happens, we can find four registers at 0-3-6-9 hours substantiated in a month indicator with a leap year included, a month display, a moon-phase aperture and day of week dial respectively which together with the minute chapter ring are inscribed with Travis’ typography. Applied hour markers and pencil hands are all filled with Super-LumiNova, the same one that also lights up the aforementioned registers in green. It is worth highlighting three more unique details, the weekday hand that comes in the shape of the artist’s brand logo, the phases of the moon that are replaced by the Cactus Jack smiley face with the mouth sewn shut and that glow-in-the-dark blue and the red centre seconds hand with an arrow-shaped tip.
At its heart, we find the 38-jewel Caliber 5135 automatic movement that operates at 19,800 Vph and offers up to 40 hours of power reserve. Which can be seen operating through the open rear case whose highlight is the rose gold skeletonized oscillating mass with the signature of the two brands.
The new Royal Oak comes attached to a textured brown calfskin leather strap with white stitching and a pink gold folding clasp.
The watch is an exclusive model from the brand’s boutiques that can be purchased for a price of USD 201,000 with part of the proceeds going to charities nominated by Travis Scott.
