replica audemars piguet launches a new variant of the Royal Oak Automatic Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin.
Le Brassus, February 2023 – Swiss luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet is pleased to launch a new version of its 41 mm Royal Oak Automatic Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin. This limited edition of 200 pieces is a styling successor to the RD#2 model launched in 2019 and continues the innovation Audemars Piguet has been pursuing for years in ultra-thin movements. Made of titanium, this new model features a captivating new smoky blue dial and three black counters, combining aesthetic refinement with cutting-edge astronomical complications.
New dial design
The case, bracelet and bezel of this new Buy replica watches are all made of titanium, while also featuring the alternating finishes that Audemars Piguet loves. The screws and chamfers of the bezel, case and bracelet links are polished, while other surfaces feature a vertical satin-brushed finish. This aesthetic is the result of a true symbiosis between the machine and the craftsman’s hand: the machine takes care of the surface treatment – titanium is particularly durable – while the craftsman ensures that all final finishes are perfectly even.
This watch features a new smoked blue dial developed specifically for this model. With a light centre and black edges, the dial features a sunburst pattern and luminous beauty, allowing easy reading of the calendar indications, the month and leap year at 3 o’clock, the date at 6 o’clock, the day of the week at 9 o’clock, and the day/night indicator.
Each of these information is displayed in snailed black counters. The moon phase at 12 o’clock is the only indication that has not been modified in the design. The dial is still adorned with 12 luminous applied hour markers and two equally luminous central hands. replica Ulysse Nardin Marine
On the caseback, this new Royal Oak Automatic Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin watch features a sapphire crystal, giving the opportunity to admire the technical prowess of the Calibre 5133.
5133, the benchmark for ultra-thin perpetual calendar movements
Introduced in 2017, the 5133 calibre pushes the boundaries of ultra-thin complications. Elegantly combining robustness and reliability, this movement consists of 256 parts, is just 2.9 mm thick and 32 mm in diameter. This masterpiece of miniaturization and engineering runs at a frequency of 2.75 Hz (19,800 vph) and offers a minimum power reserve of 40 hours. high quality replica watches
Inside, the perpetual calendar functions, which are usually located on three different levels, are placed on a single plane. This new technical feat has enabled the development of two patented innovations: the integration of the end-of-month cam with the date wheel and the association of the month cam with the month wheel. To further reduce the thickness, the dial also acts as a bridge.
These major advances have been achieved by combining CNC (Computer Numerical Control) and CAD (Computer Aided Design) technologies since the 1980s.
On the cutting edge
In 2018, the unique and understated “RD#2” watch became the world’s thinnest self-winding perpetual calendar watch. In 2019, the commercial version of this prototype was launched and named the Royal Oak Ultra-Thin Self-Winding Perpetual Calendar RD#2. With a movement that is 2.9 mm thick (including the rotor) and a case that is only 6.2 mm thick, this watch is made of 950 titanium and platinum, combining state-of-the-art technology, refined aesthetics and lightness. replica Jacob & Co. epic x chrono
Today, the watchmaker presents the successor of this watch, made entirely of titanium.
This new model also continues Audemars Piguet’s long tradition of calendar watches and ultra-thin movements. A century ago, in 1921, Audemars Piguet embarked on a dual quest, first creating the thinnest pocket watch movement ever (1.32 mm thick), then setting a similar record for a manually-wound wristwatch movement (1.64 mm in 1938), and then an automatic movement (2.45 mm in 1967). In 1978, when the watch industry was completely focused on the development of quartz watches, Audemars Piguet launched a self-winding perpetual calendar wristwatch movement, which at the time of its launch was the thinnest movement in the world (3.95 mm).
Today, the new Royal Oak Automatic Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin represents the pinnacle of this ancient watchmaking art, and a valuable stepping stone towards future developments. replica Breitling Navitimer B01 2024
