Quick TakeWe recently wrote an article and mentioned that Audemars Piguet really hasn't released any "real" limited edition Royal Oaks since the City of Sails in the 2000s. With the Perpetual Calendar Cactus Jack, AP has really gone all out and released an limited edition Royal Oak in collaboration with Travis Scott and his record company Cactus Jack. This brown ceramic Royal Oak features many references to Travis including the Cactus Jack logo at 9 o'clock and unique moonphase at 6 o'clock. The outer week ring also features Travis' font. Some people might hate this, but we love Audemars Piguet having a little bit of fun.

DescriptionThe Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked "Cactus Jack" Ref. 26585CM.OO.D301VE.01 is a remarkable timepiece that represents the convergence of horology and contemporary culture. Limited to just 200 pieces, this watch is a result of a collaboration between Audemars Piguet and Cactus Jack, the brand and record label founded by Travis Scott, a prominent figure in the world of hip-hop and music. It's a testament to Audemars Piguet's ability to transcend traditional watchmaking boundaries and embrace innovative design.

One of the standout features of this watch is its brown ceramic case, a first for Audemars Piguet, which immediately sets it apart. The choice of ceramic not only adds a unique aesthetic but also provides durability. The sapphire dial offers a glimpse of the intricate openworked self-winding perpetual calendar movement, a hallmark of Audemars Piguet's craftsmanship. What truly distinguishes this watch are the luminescent details that glow blue or green in the dark, a nod to Cactus Jack's distinctive style.

The design elements of this timepiece are rich with references to Cactus Jack's aesthetics. The typography used for the calendar and week indications is based on Travis Scott's hand-drawn model. The moon phase at 6 o'clock is represented by the iconic Cactus Jack smiley face with its mouth sewn shut, a bold and recognizable emblem of the brand. The choice of colors and materials, from the brown ceramic to the brown calfskin strap, has been carefully curated to reflect the essence of Cactus Jack.

Audemars Piguet has a history of collaborating with various creative fields, including sports, art, and entertainment. This partnership with Cactus Jack reaffirms the brand's commitment to bridging the gap between horology and popular culture. The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked "Cactus Jack" is a collector's dream, encapsulating the spirit of innovation, creativity, and cultural relevance. It's a watch that not only tells time but also tells a story of artistic synergy and the evolution of watchmaking in the modern age.
