Incoming Grail
I’d like to share my most recent and most prized incoming to date, the Ceramic Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked.
A very big thank you the Boutique team and to Corporate for this insane allocation. It’s a piece that will have a permanent place in my collection until it’s time to hand it down in the very distant future. This piece embodies everything that AP is known for today, openworking, ceramics and the perpetual calendar complication. Without further ado, pictures below:

Definitely well deserved buddy. Really happy for you.
I’m remember when you said you tried Austen’s (Horoloupe) piece back in Dubai and automatically became your grail. It’s been great following your journey. Congrats and wear it in the best of health.   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I can’t congratulate you enough!!! So beautiful, and as Gary said it’s going to someone that understands the process. That makes it all the better.
Wear it in the best of health and hope to see it in person one day soon! Cheers to you!!

Massive congratulations, it’s an incredible piece. I recently asked for this and was told that even members of the Audemars family are struggling to be allocated it.

Thank you everyone!
Quote:
Shrink wrap is long gone, asked the SA to remove everything and it’s full nude now Quote:
This was originally a request for the 26579CE a couple years ago that morphed into this since that was discontinued. A fair bit of nudging here and there, too but totally feel you on the #s for this. I got very lucky since I suspect they don’t make too many of these every year given the ceramic case/bracelet and the tedious openworking involved Quote:
I hate hate posting static pictures of APs because you need to really roll them around while on the wrist to see how light hits all the nooks and crannies. That said, the black ceramic finish is insane. The brushing has made the price heavily mirrored so it’s very rare that you see the full blackness of it. It has more of a black mirror sheen to it and straddles the dark grey tones more Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
