Modern and Chic: An Appreciation of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ladies' Watch

Audemars   Piguet, one of the world's three most famous watchmaking brands, has been writing its history and development since 1875. The charm of a watch lies in its long-standing heritage and enduring freshness. I believe many people are familiar with the name AP; the classic Royal Oak collection has been one of the most iconic models in the industry since its inception. Next, let us appreciate the new work from Audemars Piguet at the 2015   Geneva Watch Fair—the — — Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ladies' watch. Reference model: 67651SR.ZZ.1261SR.01.

    “ Mastering the conventional and forging innovation ” has been the brand's management philosophy for many years, and it is also the reason why I have always paid attention to Audemars Piguet, as is the case for any brand. We should not be too critical of a new work, but rather look for the brand's progress, the innovation and characteristics of the product, and appreciate the new work from a creative design perspective; you will always be rewarded.

The modern flair of this Royal Oak watch stems from its clever mix of materials.

    The Royal Oak ladies' model was born in 1976, setting an extraordinary standard in the field of ladies' watch design. New materials adorn the wrist 2015, as the legendary story of the Royal Oak collection continues brilliantly with the first-ever launch of a two-tone stainless steel and rose gold model. The handsome silver stainless steel perfectly complements the warm rose gold, creating a look that is both soft and elegant.

    Through the sapphire crystal glass, one can see the meticulously decorated silver dial. The appearance of the texture makes the details more refined, decorated with the unique “ Grande   Tapisserie ” pattern, making the dial shine even more brilliantly.

    The watch features basic time display functions, and the time markers are also made of rose gold and white, complementing each other and harmonising with the overall design style. The date display window is located at the three o'clock position; such a simple and grand dial is truly pleasing to the eye.

The uniquely shaped crown bears the AP signature.

    The small 18K rose gold crown is located on the side of the case, fitting the case perfectly and blending into the overall style.

When viewed from the side, the finished case exhibits sharp, well-defined angles.

    Viewed from the side, the case is remarkably slender; the polished surfaces feature sharp, distinct facets with an appealing geometric linearity. The silhouette of the watch evokes the porthole of the Royal Navy's “Royal Oak” vessel.

The Royal Oak collection features a distinctive case that leaves a lasting impression.

    The Royal Oak's octagonal case breaks away from the conventional mould of round or square watch cases. The oak symbolises strength, whilst the octagon represents rebirth; secured by eight hexagonal screws, the bezel delivers an avant-garde and innovative style, showcasing the magnificent evolution of Audemars Piguet's signature masterpiece.

The two-tone bracelet carries a subtle hint of noble elegance beneath its understated appearance.

    The case flows seamlessly into the bracelet, which is crafted from stainless steel and 18K rose gold, fitted with a stainless steel AP folding clasp. The two-tone bracelet combines understated elegance with a touch of nobility, serving as the most striking accessory on a woman's wrist, accentuating both the robust character of the Royal Oak and the graceful poise of femininity.

The folding clasp features the classic AP signature, offering convenient and comfortable wear.

    The folding clasp features the classic AP emblem, ergonomically contoured for ease and comfort on the wrist. When closed, the AP logo sits neatly on the underside of the wrist, demonstrating the brand's meticulous attention to subtle details.

The case back also bears the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak signature.

    The 2015 Royal Oak two-tone timepiece is powered by a quartz movement operating at a frequency of  32,768  Hz. Compared with mechanical movements, a quartz movement ensures greater precision whilst keeping the watch remarkably slim and light. Water-resistant to 50 metres, it is ideally suited to the modern woman's lifestyle.
