A striking expression of Audemars Piguet’s technical mastery and artistic vision, this early Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in 18K yellow gold marks a rare and fascinating chapter in the model’s history. Lacking a leap-year indicator, it belongs to the earliest generation of perpetual Royal Oaks and is further distinguished by its magnificent diamond-set case and bracelet.
The skeletonized dial reveals the beautifully engraved caliber 2120/2800, its bridges and plates adorned with intricate floral and scroll motifs. Visible through both sides of the case, this craftsmanship elevates the complication to true horological art. The dialogue between the pavé-set brilliance and the openworked mechanism perfectly unites jewelry artistry with haute horlogerie refinement.
Only three examples of this configuration, in yellow gold with diamond setting, are known, emphasizing its rarity. Accompanied by an Audemars Piguet Extract from the Archives, it stands as a radiant symbol of the brand’s creative daring at the height of the 1980s.
