Greetings fellow enthusiasts. Up for sale on behalf of a friend is the extremely limited and coveted Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26579CE in the amazing full ceramic case and bracelet! This watch was featured by HODINKEE as “…right here and right now, the hottest watch of SIHH 2017.” Presented in matte black, brushed ceramic, and featuring the caliber 5134 perpetual calendar movement. Ben Clymer described it best…

“To give you an idea of how complex this case and bracelet are, it takes roughly six hours to machine, polish, hand-finish, and assemble a steel bracelet for an RO – the ceramic bracelet? Thirty hours. For the exact same procedure!
The ceramic case here is virtually unscratchable, resistant to high temperature, age, and even thermal shocks! The dial here is AP's famous ‘Grande Tapisserie’ in slate grey with black registers. The photorealistic moonphase is against the fully black case is just lovely” (HODINKEE, 2017).

This example is a preowned but near mint, still under warranty J serial, complete with box and papers, including the amazing AP Rotative Box (i.e, watch winder), which is battery operated and features an infrared sensor that detects the presence of the watch, thereby remaining in stand-by mode without wasting batteries. Absolutely stunning. CASE SIZE: 41 MM | CASE THICKNESS 9.5 MM | WATER RESISTANCE 20 M

If you’ve read this far, you know this watch, so I’ll get right to the details.

Price: $135,000. Given value, F2F in Los Angeles preferred. USA sale only.

I'm an old-timer from Timezone (since 1997) with numerous high end transactions from trusted buyers/sellers. Recent TRF references available and found under “Who’s who.” Final transaction will occur with current owner. Please PM or email with questions; happy to speak by phone as well.
