The case with blue Royal Oak aesthetics

The case of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Replica with a diameter of 41 mm celebrates a premiere – it is made out of blue ceramic for the first time. The refined blue aesthetics and screw-down crown highlight the wear- and scratch-resistant material of the 9.5 mm thick timepiece. Ceramic requires precise fabrication and embellishments from the artisans at Le Brassus to match its anticipated appearance. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal and titanium case back reveal the traditional decorations of haute horlogerie: Côtes de Genève, circular graining, sunbursts and polished bevels.

The dial of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar

The Grande Tapisserie pattern dial, sub-dials and inner bezel have been colour-matched to the blue ceramic case of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. The applied baton indexes are made of 18-carat white gold. In addition, the royal oak hands have a luminous coating, which enables optimal reading even during longer periods of darkness.

The three Cheap Audemars Piguet Replica dials evenly distributed on the dial at 12, 3 and 9 o’clock, as well as the moon phase indicator at 6 o’clock, ensure aesthetic balance and good readability of hours, minutes, day, date, week, month, astronomical moon and leap year.

The perpetual calendar movement

The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is powered by the self-winding calibre 5134 and has a power reserve of 40 hours. This mechanism automatically takes into account the number of days in the month and correctly displays the current date even in leap years.

If regular winding of the Audemars Piguet Replica Watches is ensured, the date does not have to be corrected manually until the year 2100 to match the Gregorian calendar. The movement sitting inside the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar required a rearrangement of numerous components, including the openworked oscillating weight made of 22-carat gold. The movement operates at a frequency of 2.75 hertz.

The Audemars Piguet Replica blue ceramic bracelet with titanium folding clasp has been matched to the rest of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar’s colour scheme.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Blue Ceramic

After rolling out the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Replica in black and then white ceramic – making them the first all-ceramic Royal Oaks – Audemars Piguet put new colours on hiatus, until now. The Le Brassus watchmaker has just unveiled the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar ref. 26579CS in blue ceramic, making it the first Royal Oak entirely in coloured ceramic.

Though ceramic has long been a favoured case material at Audemars Piguet, it is typically employed for certain components, usually the bezel, to create two-tone appearance.And of the eight, six are black ceramic. So the latest Royal Oak is special just because of the colour.

Admittedly, the colour is not unique in watchmaking. And the AAA Audemars Piguet Replica all-blue aesthetic is certainly polarising. But an all-ceramic Royal Oak is always attractive in terms of look and feel, because the case and bracelet finishing is exemplary. The electric blue Royal Oak perhaps captures the zeitgeist of contemporary watch collecting perfectly with its brash colour, unusual materials, and integrated bracelet – it is a watch of the times.

The case and bracelet of the newest Best Audemars Piguet Replica is ceramic, specifically zirconium oxide, the standard material for ceramic in watchmaking. But the material is coloured with pigment in a process that is proprietary according to AP.Once the ceramic has been sintered at 1400°C and dyed, it has to emerge the exactly same colour across batches and components, a challenge for quality control.

But the most painstaking process starts when the parts leave the oven. They are then finished by hand to create brushed and polished surfaces. As a result, the ceramic case and bracelet retain the same attractive alternating satin and polished finish of their counterparts in traditional alloy. But the achieving this on ceramic is a far lengthier process due to the hardness of ceramic.

To match the dial with the Cheap Audemars Piguet Replcia ceramic case calls for physical vapour deposition . A technique that’s now increasingly common at larger brands like Omega and Rolex, PVD distinguishes itself from traditional electroplating in the near boundless range of colours it can create, including the perfect shade of blue for this dial.

Additionally, compared to traditional galvanic coating, PVD treatment gives the dial a more intense and striking hue, which a perfect complement for the electric case and bracelet.

Inside the Audemars Piguet Replica Watches is the same movement found in all Royal Oak Perpetual Calendars. It’s the cal. 5134, which is made up of a perpetual calendar model on top of the venerable cal. 2120/2121.

Thin at 4.3 mm including the calendar module, the cal. 5134 is nonetheless reliable enough that AP has depended on it for a half century. That said, it’s not the thinnest AP perpetual calendar movement.
