Overview
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar ref. 26574ST brings one of haute horlogerie's most demanding complications to the iconic octagonal-bezel sports-luxury case. Offered in a 41 mm stainless steel case, it pairs the Grande Tapisserie dial — available in blue or silver — with a full perpetual calendar display. Calibre 5134 powers the watch, integrating day, date, month, and moon-phase indications without requiring manual correction until 2100.
History
Introduced in 2015, the 26574ST represented Audemars Piguet's commitment to placing grand complications within the Royal Oak's democratically proportioned 41 mm format, making perpetual-calendar watchmaking accessible to a broader range of wrist sizes. The reference remained in production until approximately 2021, during which time it became a benchmark for stainless steel perpetual calendars in the sports-luxury segment. Collectors have consistently regarded it as a refined expression of the Royal Oak's enduring design language, first conceived by Gérald Genta in 1972.
