Celebrities Who Own Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in Blue Ceramic (Ref: 26579CS)

The brand-new 41-millimeter Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar debuted in September 2022. It is a completely blue watch that features a bracelet and casing made exclusively of blue ceramic for the very first time. Furthermore, the blue internal bezel pairs with the blue dial, which has a “Grande Tapisserie” motif with blue registers, white gold attached hour markings, and Royal Oak indexes with luminous treatment. 

The watch is also matched with a blue ceramic bracelet with a darkened finished steel AP foldable buckle. On the other hand, the casing size of this blue timepiece is 41mm, while its height is 9.5mm.

In order to create a uniform appearance, Audemars Piguet made a brand-new blue shade for the dial that combines with the blue ceramic casing and bracelet. Moreover, due to the use of Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) in its creation, the blue dial of the Grande Tapisserie is much more brilliant than the traditional Bleu Nuage dial seen on the Jumbo variant. 

In addition, the interior bezel, the dial, and the complementing subdials are all classic features of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. It boasts a metallic gloss and is vividly colored. The time is also displayed using white gold indicators and markings that glow in the dark. Lastly, as with other Audemars Piguet pieces, the level of artistry and general care for detail is simply incredible. 

Indeed, this Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is a very distinctive watch that is certain to catch the eye of many. This is, in fact, the case as the piece has so far been spotted on several celebrities’ wrists, including the CEO of Audemars Piguet himself, François-Henry Bennahmias. Other prominent people and celebrities who have been seen sporting this timepiece are:

• Ed Sheeran
