Audemars Piguet: New Royal Oak Green Dial 2021
22 March 2021The Royal Oak collection goes green. The new offerings of Audemars Piguet include a 950 platinum Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin with a smoked green dial embellished with a sunburst pattern, as well as a limited-edition Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph with an 18-carat yellow gold case and a green “Grande Tapisserie” dial. Lastly, the Manufacture also presents three new Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon variants in pink gold or titanium, all of which incorporate green hues.
ROYAL OAK “JUMBO” EXTRA-THIN
The 39mm “Jumbo” is presented with a full 950 platinum case and bracelet as well as a smoked green dial adorned with a sunburst pattern. This is the first time that this configuration has been employed within the 15202 collection. The white gold applied hour-markers and Royal Oak hands are treated with luminescent coating, aiding legibility in dim light. The “Audemars Piguet” signature is positioned below noon, while the AP initials are located at 6 o’clock, as “Jumbo” convention dictates.
Inside we find the well known the selfwinding Manufacture Calibre 2121 fitted with a 22-carat gold oscillating weight. (Price CHF 90.150 – Exclusively reserved for AP Houses)
ROYAL OAK CHRONOGRAPH
The Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph is offered in a new colour way, pairing an 18-carat yellow gold 41mm case with a green dial. The dial is adorned with a “Grande Tapisserie” pattern complemented with three snailed counters. The “Audemars Piguet” name on the dial is formed of 24-carat gold and realised using galvanic growth.
The caseback is engraved with “Limited Edition” (125 pieces). This version of the Royal Oak is powered by the selfwinding Manufacture Calibre 2385 which includes an 18-carat gold oscillating weight. In addition to the yellow gold bracelet, with AP folding clasp, the model is supplied with two additional straps: green calfskin and green rubber.
ROYAL OAK FLYING TOURBILLON
The Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon showcases the talents of the Manufacture’s craftspeople with three new variants and much hand-finishing in evidence. Each option is presented in a 41mm case and is endowed with a green Tapisserie dial enriched with a sunburst pattern.
The first reference comes with an 18-carat pink gold case with matching hour-markers and hands. This model is limited to just 10 pieces.
The second model, limited to 50 pieces, is crafted in full titanium.
The third model, limited to 15 pieces, combines a titanium case with an 18-carat white gold bezel set with 32 baguette-cut emeralds (~2.41 carats), each individually cut, faceted and set by hand.
Both titanium models incorporate white gold applied hour-makers and Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating and are complemented with a titanium bracelet.
All models are equipped with the selfwinding Manufacture Calibre 2950, the latest generation of the Audemars Piguet flying tourbillon.
