Audemars Piguet and Travis Scott launch Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar “Cactus Jack” The rapper's brown ceramic "Chocolate AP."

Rumors about a brown ceramic Royal Oak have been circulating for months, and Audemars Piguet (AP)’s latest model confirms them. However, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Skeleton “Cactus Jack” 41mm is not just a new color, but a limited edition of 200 pieces in collaboration with American rapper Travis Scott and his streetwear brand Cactus Jack.

What’s interesting about the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar “Cactus Jack” is more than just changing the dial color, which is usually the route limited editions go. Although it is based on the standard model, the “Cactus Jack” features a brown ceramic case and typography based on the musician’s handwriting on the dial, complete with Cactus Jack’s moon smiley logo.

It’s worth noting that the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar “Cactus Jack” is just one part of AP’s collaboration with Mr. Scott. Their collaboration also includes a range of apparel, including hoodies, T-shirts and hats, which will be sold on Cactus Jack’s own retail website.

While the “Cactus Jack” is essentially the same as the regular production ceramic skeleton, it looks completely different due to the case.

Normally I'm not a fan of brown ceramic, but this material makes this watch instantly special. This differentiation is a good thing, as there are many, many versions of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar—the non-skeletonized ceramic models are already available in black, white, and blue.
