Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked in blue ceramic represents a historic milestone in material innovation. It is the first timepiece from the manufacture crafted entirely from a specialized, deep blue “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” ceramic—a color meticulously engineered to mimic the iconic dial shade of the original 1972 Royal Oak. Stripping away a traditional dial, the watch showcases a multi-layered, skeletonized movement with a pink gold bridge, masterfully contrasting the vivid, hand-finished blue housing.

Key Features

  • Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50″ Ceramic:A highly scratch-resistant and lightweight material that shifts elegantly in the light from a restrained, dark almost-black hue to a vivid blue.
  • Patented Double Balance Wheel Geometry: Features two balance wheels and two hairsprings assembled on the same axis. This complex layout self-regulates error and dramatically improves timing precision and stability.
  • Gleaming Pink Gold Accents: The openworked mechanism is highlighted by a stunning, hand-dressed pink gold bridge spanning across the dial, matched beautifully with pink gold hands and luminescent hour-markers.
  • Satin-Brushed and Polished Finishes: The case and integrated ceramic bracelet feature flawless alternating satin-brushed surfaces and mirror-polished chamfers that are incredibly difficult to execute on ceramic.
  • Exhibition Titanium Caseback: Framed in grade 5 titanium with an anti-reflective sapphire window, offering a completely transparent view into the rear architecture of the self-winding calibre.
