Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked Ceramic by Audemars Piguet

“The Royal Oak

Perpetual Calendar Openworked in black ceramic is a feat of technical mastery. It combines the perpetual calendar with an open-worked dial, and cases everything up in black ceramic. By doing so, the brand has produced what is, to me, one of its most elegant and sophisticated timepieces. It’s almost like a combination of my existing Audemars Piguet watches: one in steel with an open-worked dial and the other in black ceramic with a perpetual calendar.” launch of the ‘kiss-on-demand’ iteration in 2019 set my heart fluttering again. It wasn’t just because the previous twice-daily occurrence is now available at any time of the day. Rather, it was the encapsulation of love and the thoughts of the lover that, at the press of a button, can bring upon warm emotions to the wearer. I also love how this timepiece comes encrusted with diamonds because kisses, diamonds and romance are some of the secret ingredients to a woman’s heart!”
