John Mayer Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26574BC.OO.1220BC.02
I was lucky enough to see the new John Mayer perpetual calendar 26574BC.OO.1220BC.02 at my boutique yesterday
It’s a beautiful dial. It reminds me so much of the old Tuscany dials. But with much more sparkle.
And it’s a watch the white gold makes the watch extremely heavy compared to its steel counterpart.
And it’s the last one with the classic Movement. After this one, there will be a new perpetual calendar, Movement.
I think the dial is as beautiful as the dial in the code 1159 star wheel or the Lange Saxonia thin copper dial which looks like stars in the sky.
I still think this perpetual calendar has an








even more distinctive look because of the 3-D crystals having real depth in the dial.
So the dial is definitely the most distinctive feature compared to other perpetual calendars. it’s one of the best dials as of late and really a new idea. let’s see maybe in the future these come down to less limited and less expensive pieces that would be my wish.
Pricing is high with the price close to US$200,000 and limited to 200 pieces.
