Audemars Piguet not only is the forefather of utilizing ceramic in their wristwatches, they perfected the execution in style. In 2017, Audemars Piguet introduced a black ceramic Royal Oak perpetual calendar watch with a grande tappiserie dial, and first time putting a matching black ceramic bracelet with the watch. It was a game changer and shocked the entire watches community as the finishing is as good as their stainless steel or gold Royal Oaks. Being lightweight, durable and resistant to scratches, the watch is futuristic yet pays homage to Gerald Genta’s legendary design.


2 years later in 2019, Audemars Piguet advanced one step further for openworking the magnificent movement and released the current reference 26585CE. The in-house calibre 5135 with a total of 374 components is impressive, but the ability to admire the intricate movement in a clear and visible way only added to its mythical appeal. Today, it is one of the most sought-after pieces in Audemars Piguet and only the brand’s most exclusive VIPs can get their hands on the timepiece.
