Audemars Piguet Present The AP Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked ‘Cactus Jack’ Limited Edition

Travis Scott Presents The AP Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked ‘Cactus Jack’ Limited Edition: A Symphony of Style and Innovation!

In a groundbreaking fusion of music, fashion, and horology, the Swiss watch industry witnesses a seismic shift with the Audemars Piguet collaboration with none other than Houston’s own sonic luminary, Travis Scott. Behold the birth of the chocolate brown Royal Oak perpetual calendar “Cactus Jack” Limited Edition, a horological masterpiece limited to just 200 pieces and carrying a price tag as exclusive as its design – a cool $201,000.

Travis Scott, known for breaking barriers and transcending genres, joins forces with Audemars Piguet, blending the realms of luxury watches and the ever-evolving world of Cactus Jack. This collaboration isn’t just about timekeeping; it’s a celebration of culture, a testimony to the intersection of creativity, craftsmanship, and the undeniable influence of Travis Scott on the global stage.

The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is not your average timepiece. Encased in a cool, chocolate brown ceramic—a debut for Audemars Piguet and a nod to Cactus Jack’s distinctive colour palette—it’s a bold departure from the ordinary. A canvas for innovation, the traditional typeface takes a backseat, making way for a bespoke, hand-drawn font by Travis Scott himself, injecting a burst of individuality into every tick and tock.

The heartbeat of this horological marvel lies within the openworked, automatic Calibre 5135 movement, a testament to Audemars Piguet’s commitment to precision and excellence. And let’s talk about the strap – a textured calfskin masterpiece that embraces the wrist like a piece of art. But the real showstopper? The unexpected yet harmonious marriage of brown and rainbow hues that adorn Scott’s version, challenging conventional colour norms and leaving admirers in awe.

As we marvel at the moon phase indicator, a small but significant detail reveals itself—the lunar orbs have been replaced by Cactus Jack’s iconic smiley face logo, each one meticulously “sewn” with expressive eyes and a beaming mouth. It’s a subtle nod to the irreverent spirit of both the artist and the brand.

This collaboration isn’t just a moment; it’s a movement. A final crescendo from AP CEO François-Henry Bennahmias, who, after steering the brand into a multi-billion dollar triumph, bids adieu. Yet, this partnership feels not like a stretch but a harmonious crescendo, echoing the beats of Travis Scott’s music in every tick.

So, as we witness the dawn of this new chapter, let’s raise a toast to the Travis Scott x Audemars Piguet collaboration—a symphony of style, a celebration of culture, and a testament to the enduring influence of those who dare to redefine the rules.
