Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Ref. 26884OR.OO.1358OR.01 Hands-On

GLau's visit to the Audemars Piguet IFC boutique offers a vibrant look at several notable pieces, including 50th-anniversary editions and rare complications. His detailed photos and initial impressions provide a valuable firsthand account for collectors considering these exceptional timepieces. This report highlights the visual appeal and on-wrist presence of Audemars Piguet's latest offerings.

Thanks to sales manager Vincent, 50th anniversary and other rare pieces were available for me to try in the metal. Some pieces I was not aware of their existence. What do you think of them which one(s) sing to you ?

Personally I like the full gold PC (Ref 26884OR.OO.1358OR.01) with its excellent heft & realistic moon 🌖 and the star wheels given its color scheme & unique dial !

The green dial👆 is a chosen piece of stone that is well balanced

The green dial is mesmerizing

The dial color is unusual and attractive 👆

The skeletonized dial 👆has lots of details

This ladies code reminds me of the song “sky full of ⭐️ ⭐️ “ by ColdPlay

The Starwheel 👆is special to me !

Sand gold is lovely, subtle and elegant in the metal 👆

Thanks for another great report!

I sure would love to see some of these live. I'm afraid I very rarely get to an AP point of sale :-(
