Introducing the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in Titanium

New Pitch Watch Alert

Audemars Piguet announced late last week its latest Royal Oak model, the Perpetual Calendar crafted in Titanium. Already in 2020 AP had debuted in the production of the first Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in titanium, however as a limited edition and now appears as a current edition although “limited” to the US market, leaving for later in October to “release” some units for the rest of the world but in a limited way.

The new Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is presented in a 41 mm diameter by 9.5 mm thick case and bracelet all in Grade 5 Titanium, whose material is characterized by being strong, lightweight, and highly resistant to magnetic fields and corrosion, with a brushed finish that contrasts with the polished cutting-edges. The case back comes with sapphire glass through which it is possible to observe its movement working.

The blue “Grande Tapisserie” dial with gray subdials match with the hue of the case, with a date indicator at 3 o’clock, a moon phase aperture at 6 o’clock, a day indicator at 9 o’clock, and a month and leap year indicator at 12 o’clock, also featuring a week display formed by an inner ring numbered with the 52 weeks that has the help of a thin central pointer with an arrowhead. Still, on the dial, applied hour indexes and hands all polished and filled with lume in white tone.

Inside operates the Caliber AP 5134 which is based on the Caliber 2120, whose main improvement was the introduction of the week indicator and which offers up to 40 hours of power reserve. If the watch keeps fully wound, it will not need any date adjustment until 2100.

The watch is already available this month at official brand stores and authorized retailers in the U.S. market for approximately $80,000, and is expected to reach the rest of the world in October in limited quantities as mentioned above.
