Watch Paparazzi

Business man Ferdinando Brachetti Peretti spotted wearing Audemars Piguet

Ferdinando Brachetti Peretti, the Chairman and CEO of the API Group, seems to have a thing for vintage watches. His choice of timepiece is a timeless Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar with a lightly-textured silver dial, made of stainless steel. This luxury watch is the perfect combination of style and functionality.

Interestingly, the first Royal Oak model to feature a perpetual calendar was introduced back in 1983, with the reference 5554. Audemars Piguet then went on to craft the 25654 model with only 800 exemplars made. Out of these, a mere 272 were in stainless steel. This edition of the watch is unique in that it does not feature the leap year indication, making it a rare gem in the eyes of collectors.

With a market price of €140,000, this watch is certainly an investment piece worthy of a collector's attention. Its vintage and elegant design, coupled with its unique features, make it a coveted piece for watch enthusiasts.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is a true testament to the brand's craftsmanship and dedication to producing only the finest watches. And with enthusiasts like Ferdinando Brachetti Peretti sporting them, it's no surprise that these timepieces carry such high regard in the watch-collecting community.
