The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26598BC.ZZ.1220BC.01—known as the “Qatar Edition”—redefines luxury horology with an elevated take on AP’s iconic design. Featuring a 41 mm 18K white gold case, its octagonal bezel is beautifully set with 32 baguette-cut diamonds, offering subtle sparkle while preserving the Royal Oak’s famed geometry and visible screw profile. The matching white gold bracelet complements the case’s sophisticated finish, striking an elegant balance between sportiness and refinement.
The dial is distinguished by a deep burgundy “Grande Tapisserie” pattern, exclusively developed for this edition. It provides dramatic contrast against the white gold luminescent indices and Royal Oak hands, while the matching burgundy subdials and inner flange further enhance visual cohesion and depth.
Inside beats the automatic Caliber 5134, a perpetual calendar movement derived from the iconic ultra-thin 2120. It delivers comprehensive calendar functions—including day, date, month, leap year, moon phase, and week indication—all with a 40-hour power reserve.
