In 1997, on the occasion of the Royal Oak’s 25th anniversary, AAA Audemars Piguet Replica launched a smaller version of its iconic Royal Oak. The Royal Oak Mini, reference 67075, measures just 20 mm. This size is made possible by the ultra-compact, ultra-thin Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 2601 quartz movement. Today, it is rechristened with a more elegant and energy-efficient look. The new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Mini Frosted Gold Quartz is available in white, yellow and rose gold.
The modern Royal Oak Mini measures 23 mm in diameter and 6.6 mm thick. Although it is slightly larger than its predecessor from the 90s, it is still a very compact watch. Like the original Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Mini Replica Watches, the new version is made entirely of 18-carat gold (now available in three shades) from case to bracelet. However, its shine is accentuated by the frosted gold finish, a technique Audemars Piguet has been using since 2016.
It is based on an ancient Florentine jewelry technique that involves making micro grooves with diamond tools to make the surface shine as if it were inlaid with tiny gemstones. Rather than showing this frosting, certain elements of the Swiss Audemars Piguet Replica case, bezel and bracelet, as well as the crown, feature brushed or polished finishes, creating a surprising contrast of textures.
These miniature pieces pay homage not only to Audemars Piguet’s long tradition of miniature watches and jewelry, but also to the women who have left their mark on the brand’s history.Another textural element is the dial’s iconic Petite Tapisserie pattern, which is colored to match the rest of the Audemars Piguet Replica Watches. Aside from this unique pattern, the dial remains minimalist, with just two hour and minute hands and fitted baton hour markers, all luminous.
The Replica Royal Oak Mini Frosted Gold is powered by a quartz movement, the caliber 2730, hidden under the solid gold case back. The movement has a battery life of up to 94 months and is equipped with a “switch” that can temporarily deactivate the battery by pulling the crown. Its airtightness is 50 meters.
