Quick TakeWe could stare at the midsized 37 mm Royal Oak all day. The full white gold case and bracelet have been treated by Audemars Piguet's frosted technique that makes the watch sparkle like if it was set with diamonds, but isn't. The white gold bezel is fully set with baguette cut rainbow sapphires that really showcase the fully skeletonized dial with its double balance wheel movement.

DescriptionThe Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold Double Balance Wheel Openworked Ref. 15468BC.YG.1259BC.01-B is a testament to the brand's mastery of combining aesthetic brilliance with intricate mechanical engineering. This exceptional timepiece, with a 37mm case, is crafted from hammered 18-carat white gold, featuring the distinctive Frosted Gold finish that gives it a uniquely shimmering appearance. The bezel of the watch is set with 32 baguette-cut rainbow-coloured sapphires, totaling approximately 2.24 carats, each meticulously cut to perfection. These sapphires add a vibrant spectrum of color that contrasts beautifully with the cool tones of the white gold. The openworked rhodium-toned dial provides a captivating view into the inner workings of the watch, showcasing the complex mechanism and the artistry involved in its creation. The dial is further enhanced by pink gold applied hour-markers and Royal Oak hands, both coated with luminescent material, offering clarity and elegance in equal measure.

At the heart of this exquisite timepiece lies the selfwinding Calibre 3132, a movement that showcases Audemars Piguet's commitment to precision and technical prowess. This movement, featuring 38 jewels and 245 parts, is a marvel of horology, offering a power reserve of 45 hours and a frequency of 3 Hz (21,600 vph). The double balance wheel mechanism, visible through the openworked dial, enhances the watch's accuracy and is a testament to the brand's innovative spirit. The thickness of 4.4 mm makes this watch not just a statement piece but also comfortable for everyday wear. The hammered 18-carat white gold bracelet, secured with an AP folding clasp, complements the watch's luxurious appearance and ensures a secure and comfortable fit. The Royal Oak Frosted Gold Double Balance Wheel Openworked Ref. 15468BC.YG.1259BC.01-B is more than just a watch; it's a symbol of Audemars Piguet's legacy in creating timepieces that are as technically impressive as they are aesthetically stunning, making it ideal for watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.
