Introduced in 2019, the Royal Oak White Ceramic 26579CE is considered one of the most elusive Audemars Piguet watches in the entire collection. Unless you're a highly valued client at their boutiques, you may find obtaining this watch nearly impossible. Despite its niche white colorway, it is unlikely to be any easier to secure. This white ceramic version follows the brand's first black ceramic release in 2017, based on the thin and complex QP model.

Just like the previous release, the blue ceramic Royal Oak, the Royal Oak White Ceramic is more than just a watch; it's a statement piece for those seeking something different and daring. Never known for conservatism, the Royal Oak's white ceramic model stands out as one of the least conventional and intentionally bold designs in its lineup.

For this edition, Audemars Piguet opted for a classic blue "grande tapisserie" dial with silver contrasting sub-dials, produced in-house. The white inscriptions, along with the white luminous material in the hands and indexes, complement the white case flawlessly. The display maintains the signature attributes of all Royal Oak Perpetual Calendars, including the unusual indication of the week number on the inner flange.

Retail price: ~$94,000.

Market price (Aug 2023): ~$315,000.
