A hundred and fifty years of exquisite timekeeping and Audemars Piguet is still raising the bar for elegance and performance with the Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar, which represents an evolution in movement, one that enhances user comfort by making the corrections of all functions possible via its “all-in-one” crown.
This timepiece, limited to 150 pieces, is the last to feature Calibre 5135, marking the end of nearly a decade of its use. The watch combines titanium and Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG) for enhanced durability and a sophisticated look, with a vintage-inspired dial design.
The dial features a sapphire face, blue brass inner bezel, and 18-carat white gold hands filled with luminescent material. The moon-phase indication at 6 o’clock uses a NASA photograph for a realistic representation of the lunar cycle.

The case is water-resistant to 20 meters and has a thickness of 9.9 mm. The selfwinding Calibre 5135 movement has a power reserve of 40 hours and includes 374 parts and 38 jewels.
With its 41mm case and integrated bracelet crafted entirely from stainless steel, the watch epitomises sophistication with its clean, angular lines and brushed finishing.
Taking its place as an iconic must-have piece in the world of luxury sports watches, the deep blue “Grande Tapisserie” dial adds unmistakable depth and contrast, while the harmonious arrangement of all the elements ensures not only balance, but exquisite styling that makes technical complexity a thing of beauty.
Time has never been this precise and perfection never as real until the unveiling of the Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar.
