The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar, first introduced in 1982, combines two of the great icons of Audemars Piguet’s heritage, the Royal Oak model and the perpetual calendar complication. The skeletonized or openworked version was introduced in the 1990s to allow the incredible finish of the movement to be visible through both the sapphire crystal case back and the dial and bringing a stunning new aesthetic to the Royal Oak model. The movement is the ionic automatic calibre 2120/2802 with leap-year indication, featuring the date, day and month and a moon phase with 29 1⁄2 day lunar calendar.
