Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar: the black-ceramic 26585CE

Source: Passion Asset Advisory's reference check against Audemars Piguet's official 26585CE.OO.1225CE.01 page, reviewed 10 October 2026. The last row states this guide's evidence limit, not a manufacturer price.

AP's description places visible pink-gold movement components behind the sapphire dial. That open view helps explain the model's appearance; it does not establish the originality, condition or correct operation of a particular watch.

The manufacturer uses “Perpetual Calendar Openworked” as the model name for the reference above. Keep the complication, dial description and material together. Searching only for a black-ceramic AP or an openworked Royal Oak can produce watches outside this specific brief.

Passion Asset Advisory is seeking the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked, black ceramic, Ref. 26585CE.OO.1225CE.01 under an active acquisition mandate. The shared AP mandate record is the place to check its current scope and status.

Send the reference, condition, available set, service history and country where the watch is now. The reply checks the proposed watch against the brief. Written terms identify the represented side, fees, inspection and completion conditions before any transfer. An active mandate is not an accepted offer for an unexamined watch.

Mandate scope confirmed by Passion Asset Advisory on 10 October 2026. Manufacturer information identifies the watch; it does not confirm PAA's buyer mandate or budget.

1. Record the identity. Copy the complete reference from available documents and note any uncertainty. Keep full serial and ownership records in the private enquiry.
2. Describe condition. Photograph the dial, bezel, case sides, back, bracelet and clasp. Disclose known damage or repairs; do not open the case yourself.
3. List the set. Record the box, papers, invoices, service documents, spare links and any other included items.
4. Explain known work. Identify replacements, refinishing or service concerns. Do not assume that a clean appearance proves originality.
5. Agree the examination. Establish who will inspect the watch and how custody, insurance, return and final payment will work before it moves.

Use the manufacturer's instructions for operating or setting the watch. This identification guide is not a service manual. If its operation is uncertain, explain the issue and arrange a qualified assessment rather than trying to correct it for a sale photograph.

An archive extract and a manufacturer's authenticity certificate are different documents. AP explains that the certificate requires its examination of the watch, while an extract confirms recorded numbers. See the official AP document services. The office's preliminary review does not issue a manufacturer's certificate.

This guide does not establish a current retail quote or a verified completed-sale range for 26585CE.OO.1225CE.01. An asking price for a different black-ceramic AP is not a substitute. An active acquisition brief also does not publish the buyer's budget or fix the price of every matching watch.

For a value review, identify the same reference and record each comparable's date, currency, condition, set and price basis. State gaps rather than filling them with results for another complication or material. Use the AP value guide to distinguish those figures and expected seller net.

If you are comparing a purchase offer with a consignment proposal, use the AP sale-route comparison. The price proposed, fee, custody terms and settlement trigger belong together. A hoped-for listing amount is not the same commitment as a written offer.

This is not a guide to every Royal Oak perpetual calendar, a remote certificate of authenticity or a forecast of appreciation. The complete reference and the intended transaction decide the next step.

The official reference and document-service information were reviewed on 10 October 2026. Manufacturer facts identify the design; the office's separate mandate record identifies the watch sought. No dealer listing has been treated as a completed sale, and no current price or available stock is asserted.

• Audemars Piguet: the official 26585CE.OO.1225CE.01 reference: model name, black ceramics and dial description.
• Audemars Piguet: document and customer services: manufacturer examination and document boundaries.
• Current AP acquisition mandate: the buyer brief and status, not manufacturer endorsement.

The office is independent of Audemars Piguet and is not an authorised AP dealer. A written engagement sets out the represented side, role, fees and completion conditions. No offer, sale price, allocation or future return is guaranteed.
