What to know

Audemars Piguet’s collaboration with Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack label gives the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked an unusually warm, graphic identity. Reference 26585CM.OO.D301VE.01 pairs a 41 mm brown-ceramic case with a sapphire dial, handwritten-style calendar typography and a Cactus Jack moon-phase motif. Green and blue luminous details sharpen the display after dark, while the textured brown calfskin strap closes with a pink-gold folding clasp.
