Introducing: The Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar 26574 In Yellow Gold (Exclusive Live Pics & Details)
The arrival of a new perpetual calendar Royal Oak from Audemars Piguet is something watch collectors don't take lightly. It was AP, after all, who was the very first manufacture to produce a perpetual wristwatch with leap year indicator all the way back in the 1950s. It was also Audemars Piguet, alongside only Patek Philippe, who would be producing perpetual calendar wristwatches of any kind for the better part of a half-century. The QP has always played an important role in AP's history, and while we showed you the new, updated 41 mm perpetuals a few weeks back, we are now here to show you the fifth model in the lineup – cased in yellow gold. 1 OF 14 All five AP Perpetual Calendar Royal Oaks. This new model – reference 26574BA – remains 41 mm in diameter, and joins the just announced steel and rose-gold examples, both offered with a blue or silver dial. The new yellow-gold example too features a blue tapisserie dial that we have all come to
