The Royal Oak invented the luxury sports watch in 1972, and the perpetual calendar is the complication Audemars Piguet has fitted to it longest. Travis Scott's Cactus Jack edition took that watch into brown ceramic and gave it a colour scheme nobody at Le Brassus would have drawn.

This Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar wears a 41mm brown ceramic case with an openworked dial. Automatic calibre 5134 inside.

Fun fact: A full ceramic Royal Oak case takes around 30 hours to machine and hand finish, roughly five times as long as steel, because ceramic can only be ground rather than cut. Only 200 of this edition were made.

The collection

Royal Oak

The 1972 steel sports watch that set the template for the integrated bracelet

The Royal Oak arrived in 1972, widely credited as the first luxury sports watch in steel, drawn by Gérald Genta around an octagonal bezel held down by eight visible screws. Everything else follows from that: the bracelet integrated into the case and tapering to the clasp, the Tapisserie dial on most references, the hand-finished play of brushed tops against polished bevels. The line now runs from simple time and date up to perpetual calendars and open-worked pieces.

Who it suits
