Swiss high-end watchmaking brand AUDEMARS PIGUET launches a new Royal Oak series double balance wheel skeleton watch, using an elegant black ceramic case and a dial design full of subtle visual contrast.
This is the first time that the Royal Oak series double balance skeleton watch uses black ceramic to make the case and bracelet. It is decorated by exquisite handcrafts, showing Audemars Piguet‘s iconic aesthetic design of alternating satin brushing and polishing.
Set against the elegant backdrop of a black ceramic case, the newly designed dark openworked dial paired with rose gold-tone double balance wheels exudes a sense of harmonious beauty. The intricate double balance wheel mechanism can be admired from both sides of the timepiece. Introduced by Audemars Piguet in 2016, this patented mechanism features two sets of balance wheels and hairsprings fixed on the same axis, oscillating at the same frequency to ensure greater accuracy and stability in timekeeping. This automatic regulating mechanism, complemented by rose gold-set hour markers and luminescent hands, along with the visible 22K rose gold rotor through the transparent case back, creates a mesmerizing interplay of elements. The titanium case back is adorned with the newly engraved inscription “ROYAL OAK DOUBLE BALANCIER,” showcasing the intricate inner workings of the movement.
In addition, the precise operation of the rhodium-colored transmission gear train can be clearly observed from both sides of the watch through the dark hollow bridge gap. Since the 1930s, skeletonization has become one of Audemars Piguet’s specialties. It is an art that delicately balances aesthetics and functionality. Skilled watchmaking experts determined the final design by chance and started making the movement with reverse thinking. If there are too few hollows in some parts, it will affect the visual beauty; if there are too many hollows, it will affect the function and stability of the movement. To solve this problem, one must be proficient in watchmaking technology and master the movement material characteristics and fine finishing techniques.
Audemars Piguet’s new Royal Oak series double balance skeleton watch cleverly combines traditional craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology and modern design
