Audemars Piguet unveiled a slew of new watches
While three-handed Best Audemars Piguet Replica watches and chronographs are the bread and butter of AP’s modern lineup, the brand also certainly knows how to make complications, and just one day after announcing all of the new core models, Audemars Piguet is now giving us the complicated stuff.
The latest addition to the lineup is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds GMT Large Date, which takes the core aesthetic of the iconic Royal Oak and transforms it into a highly complex and futuristic timepiece.
Crafted from titanium
The case of the new Swiss Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds GMT Large Date (Ref. 26650TI.OO.D013CA.01) Replica measures 43mm in diameter by a massive 17.4mm-thick, and it offers a highly modern and angular take on the classic octagonal shape of the Royal Oak.
The entire case offers a curved profile to better correspond with the natural shape of the wrist, and features a mixture of sandblasted titanium surfaces with high-polished accents. Both sides of the case feature sculptural angular inserts that form the guards for the crown and pushers.
Despite being highly complex from a technological standpoint, the Audemars Piguet Replica is still categorically a sports watch, and it offers a middling 50 meters of water resistance to guard against daily incidental contact.
The dial draws its inspiration from the design of movement bridges
The white gold hands, hour-markers, date display, and GMT day/night disc are all finished with a luminous coating, while small pops of bright red and yellow are used for the markings of the chronograph and GMT function, respectively.
Surrounding the Best Places To Buy Audemars Replica Watches dial is an angled rehaut that features both a seconds track for the chronograph, and a tachymeter scale printed in white along the outermost periphery of the dial. This helps keep the focus on the micro-mechanics that are visible through the numerous apertures in its surface.
While the case of the new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds GMT Large Date is certainly striking, the real focus of this model is its movement. Running at a frequency of 28,800vph (4 Hz) with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.
The Cal. 4407 also features a new oscillator
The benefits of relocating the split-seconds mechanism are twofold: in addition to allowing AP to reduce the overall height of the movement, the operation of the split-seconds wheel and two actuating clamps can be clearly viewed through the sapphire window in the display caseback.
Completing the Pay For A Luxury Watch In Bitcoin is a black rubber strap with gray inserts that continue the angular lines of the case and create an impressively integrated appearance.
Included with the watch is an additional all-black rubber strap, and Audemars Piguet also plans to sell two additional black rubber straps for the Concept series that have either bright red or yellow accents for those who wish to lean into the small pops of color on the dial.
