Design & Craftsmanship:
The Royal Oak's iconic integrated bracelet design, conceived by Gérald Genta, remains one of the most recognizable silhouettes in horology. This perpetual calendar variant elevates the legend with a full titanium construction – lightweight yet robust – paired with the mesmerizing depth of the smoky grey dial and its signature "Grande Tapisserie" guilloché pattern.
Perpetual Calendar Complication:
The perpetual calendar automatically accounts for months of varying lengths and leap years, requiring no manual adjustment until the year 2100. Sub-dials display the day, date, month, and astronomical moon phase, while a discreet week-of-year indicator adds practical utility. The calibre 5134 movement showcases Audemars Piguet's mastery of complex mechanics.
Technical Excellence:
Titanium construction offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making this 41mm case remarkably comfortable for extended wear. The brushed and polished finishing across the case and bracelet demonstrates the highest level of hand-finishing, with each surface transition executed to exacting standards.
