Audemars Piguet adds to Royal Oak collection
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak collection
Every year, Audemars Piguet has something new for the watch aficionados who love the Royal Oak. This year, there’s a raft of new options for this much-appreciated icon, including a luscious purple dial Frosted Gold Selfwinding Chronograph, and irresistibly, the Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra-Thin with black ceramic case and bracelet
Frosted Gold Selfwinding Chronograph
The frosted 18-carat white gold case and bracelet of this limited edition of 200 pieces, finished with polished chamfers, enhance the deep purple of the “Grande Tapisserie” dial. The rhodium-toned counters, gold applied hour markers and luminescent hands also illuminate the colour of the dial.
Frosted Gold Double Balance Wheel Openworked
It has all the magic of sunlight refracted through the shimmering 18-carat Frosted Gold case and the bezel featuring 32 baguette-cut “rainbow-coloured” sapphires (2.24 carats), all individually cut.
It’s a breath-taking setting for the rhodium-toned openworked dial and golden double balance wheel mechanism, visible on both sides of the watch.
This Audemars Piguet patented innovation involves a complex fabrication procedure that improves the watch’s precision and stability.
By incorporating two balance wheels and two hairsprings that are assembled on the same axis, the system oscillates in perfect synchrony.
The 18-carat white gold case glittering with Frosted Gold provides a perfect frame for the artistry of intricate openworking.
The golden double balance wheel mechanism, which improves the watch’s accuracy, enhances the anthracite openworked dial. This self-regulating organ is visible from both sides of the case and echoed by the pink gold applied hour-markers and luminescent hands.
Tourbillon Extra-Thin
The intense blackness of this limited edition of 100 pieces gives elegance and refinement to the ceramic satin-finished and polished case, which is seven times harder than steel.
The sunburst pattern of the “Tapisserie” dial radiates from the cage of the whirring tourbillon, which corrects the effects of gravity.
