Celebrities with Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in Blue Ceramic 26579CS

Entirely dressed in blue, the new 41mm Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar which was released in September 2022, presents a case and bracelet fully crafted in blue ceramic for the first time. The Blue dial features “Grande Tapisserie” pattern with blue counters, white gold applied hour-markers and Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating with the blue inner bezel. Paired with a Blue ceramic bracelet with an AP folding clasp in blackened polished steel. The blue watch comes with a 41mm case and 9.5mm in height.

Audemars Piguet has developed a new blue tone (not blue turquoise) for the dial that blends with the blue ceramic case and bracelet to produce a monochromatic look. The blue dial on the Grande Tapisserie is more vibrant than the conventional Bleu Nuage dial on the Jumbo model since it was created using Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD). 

This dial, the coordinating subdials, and the inner bezel are all traditional elements of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. It is vibrant, colorful, and has a metallic sheen. White gold hands and markers with luminescent substance are used to tell the time.

Like always with Audemars Piguet, the amount of detailing and overall craftsmanship are absolutely astounding.

Its retail price is around $109,500, and the market price is around £400,000.

Now, let's see which celebrities or famous person that has been spotted wearing this watch. Without any further delay, let's check them out here.

The first person ever to wear the All Blue Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26579CS is the CEO of Audemars Piguet François-Henry Bennahmias. 

The picture was taken when Audemars Piguet invited Ed Sheeran for the inauguration of their AP House in Zurich for a private concert and a guest offers CHF 888k for his guitar to donate to a child charity after a beautiful performance 

Comedian Kevin Hart is definitely a watch collector. If you haven't seen his watches, let me tell you this: His watch game is insane! He is in fact in love with Audemars Piguet. So, most of his watches are from the brand that was ranked 4th on Morgan Stanley’s top 50 Swiss watch brand’s turnover 2021.  

So, for him to wear this new Royal Oak is not something that would surprise me. In fact, He is the second person to be seen with this blue Royal Oak after the CEO of Audemars Piguet.

Promoting his soon-to-be-released new song on his Instagram, the singer Ed Sheeran was seen wearing the blue watch. The bright blue color really contrasts with his skin color and matches the tattoo on his left hand. What are your thoughts?

Actually, I was not surprised that Ed was one of the celebrities that have their hands on this beauty. Like John Mayer, the singer is also very well-known as an avid watch collector. His watch collection is crazy! It ranges from MoonSwatch to Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe.

The Crown Prince of the Emirate of Ajman, Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, has also been spotted wearing this watch. I mean, he has a lot of insane watches, so yeah it just makes sense that he added this one to his collection.

The basketball player LeBron James is not only good at sport, particularly basketball, but also good at watch collection. He is well-known as a passionate watch lover. On his Instagram, he has often been spotted wearing luxury watches. So, it is somehow just normal to see him wearing this beautiful new watch.

Next is Steven Zhang, a Chinese businessman and chairman of the Italian football club Inter Milan. As we can see in the picture, standing next to the Argentinian football player Lauro Martinez, Zhang wears the blue ceramic Royal Oak.

He has been spotted wearing luxury watches on his wrist several times, like Richard Mille, Rolex Sprite, etc.  

Now we have one of the biggest Bollywood stars: Shah Rukh Khan, also known by the initialism SRK, is an Indian actor, film producer, and television personality who works in Hindi films. He has so many watches and the blue Royal Oak is one of them. 

I guess I have to write an article about his watch collection!

During the previous major football event, the FIFA 2022 World Cup in Doha, Qatar, the captain of the Netherlands national team, Virgil Van Dijk was seen wearing the blue Royal Oak watch which I think really suits him. 

The stunning blue dial, adorned with Grande Tapisserie pattern, complements Van Dijk's suave sense of style, while the perpetual calendar complication is an apt reflection of his enduring success on the pitch. This exquisite accessory not only elevates Van Dijk's fashion statement but also symbolizes the unrelenting drive for excellence shared by both the athlete and the watchmaker. 

In September 2023, Tom Brady, the former American quarterback who graced the National Football League for 23 seasons,and took the world by surprise with his retirement announcement in February 2023, was seen wearing this blue Royal Oak.
