The 'Luminary'
Named ‘Luminary’ because of its bright light blue dial, the Audemars Piguet Ultra thin Perpetual Calendar ref. 26586BC-OO-1240BC-99 is an interpretation of the RD2 released in 2023 as a limited edition of 25 pieces.
The white gold case measures 41 x 6,2 mm and the dial has a light blue color with a brushed finish.
The subdials have a very subtle circular pattern.
And the photo-realistic moon phase is set on an aventurine disc.

At 6,2 mm of thickness, the watch is really very thin, especially for a perpetual calendar.

But the watch was also delivered with two straps: a light blue fabric one with contrasting stitching and a dark blue leather one also with contrasting stitching, each matching a color of the dial.

The watch had its special presentation box.

I personally prefer the dark blue titanium/platinum variant,
but of course I understand the appeal of this one. Best, Emmanuel
Big big love for all RO and ROO. This one is just stunning👌
A dream watch for me and I am sure for many of us 😍.
Very attractive indeed.
My favorite ultra thin, though, is the dark blue dial with titanium/platinum case. Best, Emmanuel
Wow...this bright light blue dial looks refreshing.
I think the brushed dial worked perfectly here. A supered ultra-thin perpetual calendar, but sadly also ultra-rare as advertised boldly.
A beautiful dial indeed.
Although I prefer the OG 39mm sizing of the jumbo perpetuals.
