Audemars Piguet 26605Ce.Oo.1248Ce.01 Royal Oak Grande Complication Silver Dial

The Audemars Piguet 26605CE.OO.1248CE.01 Royal Oak Grande Complication is one of those watches that quietly rewrites the rules. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t need to. This is haute horology in full command of itself wrapped in ultra-modern black ceramic and anchored by a beautifully balanced silver dial.

What makes this reference special isn’t just the Grande Complication label. It’s how Audemars Piguet managed to house a perpetual calendar, minute repeater, and split-seconds chronograph inside the unmistakable Royal Oak silhouette. That iconic octagonal bezel, now rendered in ceramic, feels sharper, lighter, and surprisingly wearable for a watch this complex.

Design & Dial Presence

The silver dial plays an important role here. Against the deep black ceramic case and bracelet, it creates instant contrast and clarity. Every sub-dial feels intentional. Nothing is crowded. Despite the mechanical density underneath, the watch remains readable and calm — a rare achievement at this level.

Ceramic isn’t just a visual choice either. It’s scratch-resistant, lightweight, and incredibly durable, making this Royal Oak far more practical than its complications might suggest.

Mechanical Depth

Inside beats Audemars Piguet’s manually wound caliber, a movement that represents decades of technical evolution. The minute repeater delivers a crisp, refined chime. The perpetual calendar tracks time far beyond human patience. The split-seconds chronograph adds precision on top of precision.

This isn’t a watch you buy casually. It’s a watch you grow into.
