The black "Grande Tapisserie" large-scale checkered surface is equipped with a black timer, and the thin rose gold line outlines the outer edge of the timer, plus the three-dimensional hour markers made of rose gold, the Royal Oak Royal Oak hands and the Audemars Piguet logo. An eye-catching contrast effect.

Craftsmanship for a black ceramic watch
The latest 41mm Royal Oak Automatic Chronograph is housed in a black ceramic case that accentuates the elegant brilliance of the rose gold details on the surface. The beautiful ceramic case and chain watch require the use of highly difficult professional skills, after many complicated processes are made, and then a number of fine decorations are carried out by hand. The brand's ceramics are made of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) powder mixed with a special binder, and its formula is a trade secret. After the synthesized material is sintered at an ultra-high temperature of about 1400°C, the ceramic can show a uniform and beautiful color throughout the body.

In order to create a modern black ceramic, it is necessary to rely on the traditional craftsmanship of Audemars Piguet. All ceramic parts are first subjected to preliminary mechanical gloss polishing and matte polishing, and then hand-finished, including polished chamfering, and the brand's classic matte polishing and glossy polishing. The tried-and-tested ceramic is wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, and can reflect the ever-changing and charming light.high quality replica watches

The black "Grande Tapisserie" has a large checkered surface with a black chronograph, and a thin rose gold line outlines the outer edge of the chronograph. Coupled with the three-dimensional hour markers made of rose gold, the Royal Oak Royal Oak hands and the Audemars Piguet logo, it creates an eye-catching contrast.

Evolving Design
As part of the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak Royal Oak Collection, the new Royal Oak Royal Oak Collection 41mm Black Ceramic Self-Winding Chronograph features a next-generation surface design. The three-dimensional faceted hour markers and hands with fluorescent coating are the features of the Royal Oak series that can be identified at a glance. The markers and hands are of the same size.

In addition, the Audemars Piguet logo has also been redesigned. The unique 24K gold three-dimensional Audemars Piguet logo occupies the 12 o'clock position, replacing the three-dimensional "AP" logo and the pad-printed "AUDEMARS PIGUET" word. The three-dimensional logo of the Royal Oak Royal Oak series anniversary model was originally developed for the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 series. Each letter is formed by electroplating layer by layer of 24K gold material through electroplating generation method (similar to 3D printing). They are connected by hair-thin golden strands, hand-applied to the surface, and fixed by tiny claws that are barely visible to the naked eye.replica watches for sale

After the size of the small seconds display plate has been slightly increased, the diameters of the three timers have been unified, making them more eye-catching and easy to read. The rear end of the central second hand presents a novel hollow trapezoid design, which is refreshing.

The black ceramic strap has been slightly modified, and the pins connecting the links and the strap interface are perfectly integrated with the latter, which is more beautiful without any traces from the side.

The new 41mm Royal Oak Royal Oak series self-winding chronograph is equipped with a black 22K gold 50th anniversary exclusive automatic dial, which not only presents the 50th anniversary logo through hollowing skills, but also engraved with the Audemars Piguet logo. The automatic dial is specially treated to be black in order to match the color of the case, which is usually a delicate match reserved for complication timepieces. Like the case, the automatic disc is staggered with matte grinding and polishing and chamfering, which doubles the beauty.discount replica watches

Integrated chronograph
This watch is equipped with the latest Audemars Piguet chronograph movement - 4401 self-winding movement. This one-piece chronograph movement is equipped with a column wheel and flyback function to restart timing without first pressing the stop or reset button. The column wheel works in tandem with the vertical clutch mechanism, ensuring that the chronograph hands respond instantly and smoothly when the chronograph is started or stopped. In addition, the operation of the chronograph button is very flexible and handy; the patented reset-free mechanism ensures that the hands of each chronograph are reset to zero in an instant. Through the sapphire crystal glass case back, you can appreciate the exquisite finishing decoration of the movement, including Côtes de Genève, grained circle polishing, matte circle polishing and glossy polished chamfering, in every detail.

Leading the trend of ceramic watches
Audemars Piguet's history of using ceramics can be traced back to the Bamboo women's watch collection launched in 1986. The collection features a variety of two-tone straps, most of which are diamond-set 18K gold straps with red, white or black ceramic links.

In the early 2000s, ceramics made a comeback in the brand's works with a new attitude. Adhering to the spirit of innovation, Audemars Piguet has launched styles that combine cutting-edge technology materials and ceramics in the Royal Oak Offshore Royal Oak Offshore and Royal Oak Concept Royal Oak Concept series.

It was not until 2017 that black ceramic appeared in the Royal Oak Royal Oak series, creating the first 41mm Royal Oak Royal Oak series perpetual calendar watch entirely made of black ceramic. It is also the brand's first-ever strap made entirely of ceramic, embodying the silhouette and hand-finished beauty of this iconic collection. A white ceramic version, which appeared the following year, offered collectors another option. Since then, the Royal Oak Royal Oak series complications have been put on new black ceramics, including the Tourbillon Skeleton Chronograph (2018), the Perpetual Calendar Skeleton Watch (2019), and the Ultra-thin Tourbillon Watch (2019) , Double Balance Skeleton (2020), and 34mm Self-winding (2021).

Audemars Piguet has never stopped exploring ceramic materials, and today’s launch of the first black ceramic Royal Oak Royal Oak series self-winding chronograph is an important step in expanding the series.cheap watches for sale
