Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Ceramic Replica Watch Review

I have been wearing the Audemars Piguet Black Ceramic,Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver for nearly one week. I am lucky to be among the first people in the United States to wear the latest incarnation of the iconic Royal Oak design. This is the newest addition Royal Oak Offshore Diver (hands-on here), which was first available in steel, then forged carbon, and now in all-ceramic. The watch itself is really impressive, but for me it is part of a larger journey with the brand.

My relationship with Audemars Piguet and the family of Royal Oaks goes back nearly thirty-six years. In 1977 my mother was shopping for a watch. She was focused on a gold Piaget with a malachite dial or gold Rolex Lady Datejust. I was always a watch enthusiast, and had recently learned of the Royal Oak at the time. Designed by Gerald Genta in 1972, the Royal Oak was the first sport watch that transcended the genre and crossed the line into the luxury category. It was shocking at the time – an Audemars Piguet stainless steel sport watch that sold for the same price as a gold watch from other brands.

Going back to my mother, after seeing the Audemars Piguet replica watch initially, she had no doubt about her decision and purchased a stainless steel and yellow gold Royal Oak Automatic, from the iconic Leon at Cellini. Her watch, just like the Men’s Jumbo, was larger in size, and somewhat unusually shaped at that time. Seeing the watch for the first time, her sister was surprised and commented that she expected her to come home with a nicer watch. When my mother asked what was wrong with the Royal Oak, she replied, “I don’t understand why the screws are showing.” We could not stop laughing! To this day, everyone I repeat that story to, laughs. It proves beyond a doubt that the Royal Oak turned luxury inside out, literally!
AP-Royal-Oak-Offshore-diver-4Fast forward to 2013. Black watches are in fashion more than ever before and ceramic is the hottest material around. The market is full of black watches made of plastic, metal or manipulated steel. Audemars Piguet for years has experimented with various materials and like many others prefers ceramic for many applications – though fully ceramic Royal Oak watches are still uncommon. Based upon the classic design and crafted of black ceramic, the latest Royal Oak is again both stylish and unique, and in my opinion still flies “under the radar” being harmonious in color, and design.

For much of its life, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak was 39mm wide. The Royal Oak Offshore models in the 1990s upped that to 44mm wide with the larger Chronograph versions. Recently Audemars Piguet released an updated version of the iconic Royal Oak in a 41mm wide case. In 2010 when Audemars Piguet released the Royal Oak Offshore Diver, it not only offered an interesting middle ground between the original Royal Oak and the Offshore, but also a middle size coming in at 42mm wide.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph Replica Watch In Platinum

It came in gold, it came in titanium, and now the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph replica watch comes in platinum. A timepiece like this sits in the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore hall of kings. It isn’t the most exclusive Royal Oak Offshore ever made, but those people who are fortunate to own one have probably succeeded in making a range of other uncommonly cost-intensive purchases in life. I say this because to go from wearing a Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph to a Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph is a serious leap in one’s development as a watch wearer. So what is this rare watch all about?

If you want to be particular, you can refer to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph as the reference 26388PO.OO.D027CA.01, or more simply as Royal Oak Offshore 26388. Having said that, I’ve never been one to recall watch reference numbers, as they are too abstract for me. I assign personalities to watches just as I do with people, so giving them a proper name is helpful. On that note, I’ve never been able to get with people, such as Patek Philippe lovers, who seem to memorize the brand’s “code” of models. At least some of them have actual names…

The watch industry likes to help designate platinum watches by matching them with blue. Of course, that isn’t to say all watches with blue accents have platinum cases, but the reciprocal is often true. The platinum Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph comes with a rather stunning metallic blue dial and deep midnight blue rubber strap. It is odd that I said that latter part so nonchalantly. 20 years ago you’d never see a rubber strap with a tourbillon, and no tourbillon watch would have been this sporty. Have we come that far?

Nevertheless, if you look closely at the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph’s dial you’ll notice fine watch making removed from the Royal Oak Offshore’s sporty design and dimensions. Perlage polishing is liberally used on the in-house made movement and the 3Hz balance wheel looks like something from Audemars Piguet’s most elegant stock. Elegance, with sporty armor, though. Audemars Piguet uses a modern looking black-colored anodized aluminum bridge over the tourbillon, and more black aluminum bridges in other parts of the movement, such as on the rear, and to hold the mainspring barrels in place.https://www.apreplicawatch.com

Speaking on mainsprings there are two barrels, and in total, the in-house made Audemars Piguet caliber 2912 manually wound movement has a long power reserve of 237 hours. That is a nice long time but unfortunately the movement doesn’t offer a power reserve indicator, even though you can view the mainspring barrels through the skeletonized sections of the dial.

The caliber 2912 movement is impressive looking, and it does an admirable job of mixing that haute horology feel with contemporary design principles. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph is, after all, a product of the most modern Royal Oak Offshore design principles. That includes little elements such as the hands, crown, chronograph pushers, and other details. Still, the Royal Oak Offshore is based on the original Royal Oak from 1972, so in many ways this is a retro design, though you’d be forgiven for not knowing that based on what this watch looks like.

Best Audemars Piguet Millenary 4101 Replica Watch

AP-2011-Millenary-Watch-10

The oft neglected  Audemars Piguet Millenary is getting a major re-haul for 2011 with the Millenary 4101 collection. Using the same ovoid shape of case as the previous Millenary, the dial and movement are totally new and based on the very rare and high-end Audemars Piguet Millenary AP Escapement collection.

On the back of the case is an open sapphire caseback allowing you to see the engraved 22k gold rotor as well as a slew of perlage polishing. This really is a watch for the movement lover. This time around, the time display on the Millenary is actually off-centered, where as it was just a bit of an optical illusion before. The dial has a rich depth to it and you can tell that the movement was designed from the ground up to attractively fit the special oval case.

This particular movement is called the Caliber 4101 and is brand new for this watch. Not only is it is made to fit in the case but is also an automatic with 60 hours of power reserve. The rotor sits on ceramic ball bearings and the movement actually comes in two tones. There is a lighter version with rhodium plated bridges and a darker version with anthracite bridges. The bridges also enjoy sharp beveling and areas of diamond polish in addition to lots of perlage and Cote de Geneve. In the gold cased version,Audemars Piguet Millenary 4101 replica watch the bridge for the escapement is also in gold. In all, the movement has 253 parts. Really one of the choicest new movements of the year.

The case is 47mm wide by 42mm tall – a nice size that allows you to properly appreciate the movement design. Next to the off-centered time dial is a subsidiary seconds dial that is a nod to the ‘parent’ watch. Some complain that the design of the sub seconds dial is too instrumental but that is the exact reason I like it. It is a subconscious reminder that AP is a brand that focuses on design and beauty and well as precision and performance.

For the time being, the watch comes in either a steel case or an 18k pink gold case. The entire execution looks really slick with a fitted black or brown alligator strap. I look forward to seeing one of these on a wrist. Definitely going to be a must-have for any modern AP collector.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 41mm Selfwinding & Chronograph Watches Replica

Posted on by

AP-Royal-Oak-41mm-16

I have discussed how 2012 is the 40th anniversary of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch. It was easy to anticipate that the brand from Le Brassus would focus on the Royal Oak and release a bevy of pieces both looking forward and to the collection’s past. They certainly did. There is nothing extremely novel, and I believe that for as long as we can imagine, Audemars Piguet will honor the core look of the Gerald Genta designed classic.

One of the most important pieces for the 40th anniversary celebration is the Royal Oak in a newer, larger 41mm wide case. The previous “Jumbo” model was 39mm wide. Even though there is actually a new Jumbo for 2012 – which is a redo of the original Jumbo – this 41mm wide Royal Oak set is the real jumbo for the year. It further will come in both three-hand and chronograph versions .

According to Audemars Piguet all Royal Oak replica watch dials are now made in-house. The mega tapisserie dial style has been replaced! The new one is called “grande tapisserie.” In addition to the raised blocks on the dial, there is small concentric circles over the entire dial for what is essentially texture on top of texture. The result is subtle but very attractive.

The new dials are overall really impressive and I think even purists who are skeptics will like the new ones. Also new is an improved bracelet deployment clasp. This is something people have argued the Royal Oak needed for a while. The upgrade is really nice. It is simple, but the detailing is quite lovely. Functionally the Royal Oak now comes with a locking push-button deployment clasp and it looks really nice when closed.

In addition to the Selfwinding 41mm is a new Royal Oak Chronograph model. Inside that watch is an Audemars Piguet caliber 2385 automatic chronograph movement that looks lovely in the larger case size. Unlike the Selfwinding, the Chronograph does not have an exhibition caseback. Both models come in 18k pink gold and steel for 2012. There are a lot of dial color options as well. Available for both ranges are silvery white dials, black dials, and dark blue dial options. The blue actually looks quite nice with steel.

People have a lot of size options these days when it comes to the Royal Oak Offshore. For 2012 alone Audemars Piguet replica watch is releasing versions of the Royal Oak in 37mm 39mm and 41mm wide versions. Lots of fans will go for the limited models and the redo of the classic Jumbo. For me this 41mm wide version is a winner. The Chronograph is a cherry model and the three-hander is an ideal formal or daily wear watch. Comfortable, classy, and very masculine.
