Quick TakeAudemars Piguet really does amazing work with their frosted technique. This case finishing method makes the white gold appear to be fully set in diamonds when it is not, it just sparkles. The automatic movement with a double balance week is displayed perfectly on the skeleton dial.

DescriptionThe Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked Ref. 15466BC.GG.1259BC.01 is a remarkable demonstration of the fusion of art and horology. This 37mm timepiece is crafted from hammered 18-carat white gold, featuring the distinctive Frosted Gold finishing that gives the watch a scintillating, shimmering effect. This exquisite technique creates a unique texture on the watch's case and bracelet, making it a true standout piece. The openworked rhodium-toned dial allows a fascinating glimpse into the watch's complex inner workings, showcasing the patented double balance wheel mechanism. This feature is not only a technical achievement but also a visual spectacle, offering a deeper appreciation of the intricate craftsmanship that goes into every Audemars Piguet watch. The dial is further adorned with pink gold applied hour-markers and Royal Oak hands, both coated with luminescent material, enhancing legibility and adding to the watch's elegant aesthetics.

At the heart of this sophisticated timepiece lies the selfwinding Calibre 3132, a movement that embodies Audemars Piguet's commitment to precision and innovation. This movement, featuring 38 jewels and 245 parts, offers a power reserve of 45 hours and a thickness of only 4.4 mm. The double balance wheel mechanism improves the watch's precision and stability, making it a true marvel of modern watchmaking. The watch's 50 meters water resistance adds a practical dimension to its luxurious design. The hammered 18-carat white gold bracelet, secured with an AP folding clasp, not only complements the watch's aesthetic appeal but also ensures a secure and comfortable fit. The Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked Ref. 15466BC.GG.1259BC.01 is more than just a timekeeper; it's a testament to Audemars Piguet's legacy in creating timepieces that are as technically impressive as they are visually stunning, perfect for connoisseurs who appreciate the art of fine watchmaking.
