DescriptionThe Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin Openworked ref. 16204BC.OO.1240BC.01 is a timepiece crafted from 18-carat white gold. The case measures 39mm in diameter and just 8.1mm in thickness, making it a remarkably slim and lightweight watch for its material composition. The watch’s slim profile is further accentuated by the use of a glareproofed sapphire crystal on both the front and back of the case. The sapphire crystal offers exceptional scratch resistance and clarity, showcasing the intricate workings of the movement on the display back. The case is water-resistant to 50 meters, which means it can withstand accidental splashes or brief submersion, but it is not suitable for recreational diving.

The timekeeping functions of the Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin Openworked are powered by the Calibre 7124, a self-winding mechanical movement designed and manufactured in-house by Audemars Piguet. The Calibre 7124 is a marvel of miniaturization, boasting a diameter of just 29.6mm and a thickness of only 2.7mm. Despite its diminutive size, the movement offers a respectable power reserve of 57 hours when fully wound. The Calibre 7124 features 31 jewels, which minimize friction between moving parts and contribute to the movement’s longevity and smooth operation. The movement is skeletonized, meaning that excess material has been removed from the bridges and plates to expose the underlying gear train and regulating mechanism. This openworked design not only offers a mesmerizing view of the watch’s mechanics but also contributes to the overall thinness of the timepiece.

The dial of the Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin Openworked is dominated by the openworked Calibre 7124 with its dark grey finish. The openworked dial presents a fascinating glimpse into the “heart” of the watch, allowing the wearer to appreciate the intricate interplay of gears, springs, and levers that govern the timekeeping function. To ensure optimal legibility in low-light conditions, the hour markers and Royal Oak hands are crafted from 18-carat white gold and coated with luminescent material. The luminescent coating emits a faint glow after being exposed to light, making it easy to read the time in darkness. The Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin Openworked is secured to the wrist by a bracelet crafted from 18-carat white gold. The bracelet features a classic Royal Oak aesthetic, with alternating polished and satin-finished links that create a sophisticated and visually appealing look. The bracelet integrates seamlessly with the case and is secured by a folding clasp with a double safety mechanism to ensure the watch remains securely on the wrist. The 18-carat white gold construction of the bracelet ensures exceptional strength and durability, while the folding clasp offers a comfortable and convenient way to wear and remove the watch.
