Audemars Piguet 26574CE.OO.1225CE.01

So far, our database has one confirmed sighting of the Audemars Piguet 26574CE.OO.1225CE.01 in the wild: DJ Khaled, the Grammy-winning music producer and rapper, was photographed wearing it in February 2025. That a figure known for his deep, serious watch collection — rather than someone simply reaching for a recognisable logo — is the one on record with this reference says something about where the 26574CE.OO.1225CE.01 sits in the collector hierarchy. This is not a watch that tends to end up on a wrist by accident. The blue ceramic Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar attracts buyers who already own the steel or gold Royal Oak variants and are looking for something technically and materially further up the ladder.

The 26574CE.OO.1225CE.01 is produced in limited numbers, and Audemars Piguet's ceramic pieces — particularly those combining a perpetual calendar complication with the ceramic case and bracelet construction — have historically carried significant waitlists at authorised dealers. Retail pricing places it well into six-figure territory, and on the secondary market, completed sales have consistently come in at or above retail, reflecting constrained supply against sustained collector demand. For a reference that requires no quartz movement, no battery, and no annual calendar reset, the technical proposition justifies a premium that the resale market has been willing to pay.

The 26574CE.OO.1225CE.01 houses AP's in-house perpetual calendar movement inside a 41mm blue ceramic case and bracelet — a material combination that remains relatively rare at this complication level. DJ Khaled's public affinity for serious horology has helped bring the reference to a wider audience, though its limited availability means that attention has not translated into easier access.
