Audemars Piguet Brought Two New 37 MM Royal Oak Selfwinding Models Into The Light
The white gold iteration combines the sparkle of brilliant-cut diamonds with a light green colour, while the pink gold timepiece brings together brilliant-cut diamonds, graded blue sapphires and a light blue hue. These two timepieces will please the smaller wrists with their refined aesthetics and contemporary selfwinding micro-mechanics.
NEW ELEGANT LOOKS
The 18-carat pink gold Royal Oak Selfwinding model is paved with 164 brilliant-cut diamonds (~ 1.618 carats) on the case, bracelet studs and AP folding clasp, while the bezel sparkles with 40 graded brilliant-cut blue sapphires (~ 1.05 carats) for a refined contrast. The play of light conferred by the gemstones is accentuated by the Grande Tapisserie dial mirroring the colour of the sapphires in a shade of light blue. The timepiece comes with a matching light blue pearly alligator strap with large square scales, completing this elegant pastel aesthetic.
The 18-carat white gold version encompasses a case, bezel, bracelet studs and AP folding clasp fully set with 204 brilliant-cut diamonds (~ 2.538 carats) for a unique shimmering effect. The timepiece incorporates a Grande Tapisserie dial in a light green hue and a corresponding pearly alligator strap with large square scales.
Both timepieces feature two hour-markers at 12 o’clock set with 8 brilliant-cut diamonds (~0.019 carats). The other gold hour-markers match with the case colour and are filled with luminescent coating for optimum visibility in dim light. The gold applied “Audemars Piguet” signature, obtained through galvanic growth, is fitted on a cartouche below the double hour-markers at 12 o’clock.
The case of each timepiece is meticulously finished with the Manufacture’s trademark alternation of satin brushing and polished chamfers, conferring endless plays of light while highlighting the Royal Oak’s multi-facetted architecture.
CALIBRE 5900
Both timepieces are powered by the latest generation Calibre 5900 that indicates the hours, minutes, centre seconds and date. The 3.9mm-thick movement combines a high 4 Hz frequency and a 60-hour power reserve. The movement is also equipped with a 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight and is decorated with refined finishing including polished angles, vertical satin brushing, Côtes de Genève, circular graining, sunray brushing and chamfering that can all be admired through the sapphire caseback.
