Introducing the AUDEMARS PIGUET Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked Ceramic 41mm Replica

Introducing the AUDEMARS PIGUET Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked Ceramic 41mm Replica


December 2020 - The Swiss fine watchmaking brand AUDEMARS PIGUET presents the new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked Ceramic 41mm watch replica 15416CE.OO.1225CE.01 with a dial design full of subtle visual contrasts. For the first time, the Royal Oak Double Oscillator Skeleton features a case and bracelet in black ceramic, hand-finished with the signature Audemars Piguet aesthetic of alternating satin-brushed and polished finishes.


The Case & Dial

The new AP Royal Oak watch replica itself retains most elements of previous replica Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked models. What we’re looking at today is mostly an evolution of materials and colours. As such, the case still measures 41mm in diameter and features the emblematic octagonal bezel with eight gold screws on top. It has a relatively thin profile of 9.7mm, a hexagonal screw-lock crown and alternation of brushed surfaces and polished accents – features that are kept, despite the new material. The main update concerns the use of black ceramic, a lightweight and ultra-resistant material, for both the case, the bezel, the crown and the bracelet. The caseback is made of titanium.

As we’ve explained on several occasions, the use of ceramic for the replica AP Royal Oak is not a simple task. In order to retain the exact same shape and finishing as a stainless steel or solid gold model, the ceramic Royal Oak watches require an impressive amount of time to machine and hand-finish the parts – the bracelet alone requires 30 hours of finishing, which is five times longer than for the steel version. But clearly, the result is stunning. As you can see in the photos, the black ceramic material is also rather playful depending on the light conditions, reflecting or absorbing ambient light.

Some evolutions are also noticeable on the dial side. While the movement, its decoration and the visible double balance wheel module are retained, the inner flange with a minute track is now treated in black to match the case. The hands and the applied indexes are still executed in 18k pink gold and feature some luminescent material. The complexity of this AP Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked replica doesn’t hide in the display of this classic 3-hand watch. The star of the show is, without a doubt, the complex regulating organ, highlighted between 6 and 9 o’clock, with its gold bridge and balances, contrasting with the dark grey movement – which, as you can see, is superbly decorated by hand, with sharp inward angles and hand-polished chamfers (among other decorations).


The Movement

The principle of the Double Balance Wheel replica 15416CE.OO.1225CE.01, as we explained in this in-depth video with the CEO of Audemars Piguet, François-Henry Bennahmias, is all about chronometric performance. Placing this double balance wheel device on a classic calibre 3120 allows its benefits to be measured, in comparison to a traditional single balance movement. The idea was to exploit the advantages of having two balance springs, without the issues that come with them. Having a double spring increases precision. However, this construction (when you have two hairsprings on the same side of a single balance) is known to be difficult to adjust and does create extra friction on the balance staff. Taking two springs made of the same alloy and setting them 180° apart cancels this completely, which benefits the overall chronometric performance of the watch.

The rest of the movement, taking aside the skeletonization process and the double balance construction, is close to a classic Calibre 3120, which has been the brand’s core automatic movement for several years. The Calibre 3132 you see here runs at a frequency of 3Hz with a power reserve of 45 hours – shorter than the 3120, as the double balance consumes more energy. 

The watch’s titanium caseback presents the engraving: “Royal Oak Double Balancier” and, through the transparent sapphire crystal, showcases the back of the movement and its 22-carat pink gold oscillating.

Low-key Luxury Rolex Yacht-Master 126622 Watch Replica With Low Price

Low-key Luxury Rolex Yacht-Master 126622 Watch Replica With Low Price Rolex is the watch I usually wear, and the most recently worn is the yacht. So today I want to talk to you about  Rolex Yacht-Master 40 mm blue dial watch replica 126622 . If you listen to the rumour mill, the Yacht-Master is a watch that was always destined to have an uncertain lot in life. It was supposedly created as a sleeker, sexier upgrade to Rolex’s robust and beloved diver, the Submariner. But the design overhaul would have been drastic, and with a legion of Submariner devotees poised to pounce, Rolex purportedly scrapped plans to replace the well-established dive watch at the last minute, and released the  Rolex Yacht-Master replica 126622  as an entirely new model instead. Rolex Yacht-Master Replica Yacht-Master is a relatively "new" series in the Rolex sports watch replica.  Rolex Yacht-Master replica series  came out in 1992, the first model is 16628, 40 mm size, using 31...

Review Rolex Submariner Date 116610LV-97200 Green Watch Replica

The life cycle of Rolex watches has always been about evolution rather than revolution. Rolex know what makes timeless design has become a classic, and any changes made to specific models are subtle rather than shocking. For a brand that is inextricably linked to wealthy and luxurious ideas, Rolex has never really exaggerated. However, they still have one or two surprises again and again. At the same time, we also launched  Rolex Submariner Date 116610LV-97200 Green Watch Replica .
