Hands-On: Audemars Piguet’s Newest Ceramic Royal Oaks In The Brand’s Historic “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50”
Take a look at our newest merchandise
The three new fashions – a Royal Oak Double Steadiness Openworked and two variations of the Royal Oak Offshore Self-winding Chronograph (in classic and trendy stylings) – launched final week in the midst of Watches and Wonders. It was curious timing, shortly after the model’s AP Social Membership launches in early 2025, and through a commerce present wherein the model does not current. Chanel additionally dropped these curious and wild J12s with darkish blue ceramic instances on the primary day of Watches and Wonders, and shortly after got here the brand new APs. Coincidence?
Exhausting to say. I’ve requested Audemars Piguet if the 2 manufacturers share a case provider and, if that’s the case, if AP’s shade of blue is proprietary. It is onerous to inform if the colour is similar and differs solely in ending (and the ending on AP’s ceramic is much and away the perfect within the trade). I am going to replace you if I get a response.
