Audemars Piguet celebrates the 40th anniversary of the women’s Royal Oak with new frosted gold jewelry technology. This is also the story of three designers: Gérald Genta, who created the first Royal Oak in 1972; Jacqueline Dimier, who redesigned the female The Gengta watch with a watch; and Carolina Bucci, a contemporary jewelry designer in Florence, whose frosted gold craftsmanship appeared. On these new watches.
The new watch is very distinctive, shiny in the frosted area, in sharp contrast with the polished gold facets. Frosted gold has a long history and is known as the Florentine technique. It is now adopted by the fourth-generation jeweler Carolina Bucci in her hometown of Florence.
The frosted gold technique is performed by repeatedly hammering the gold surface with a diamond pointed tool. Nowadays, the hammer is automatic, but even so, it is a technique that requires great skill, especially on the complex surfaces of watches and bracelets. The results are surprising. The way the surface captures light looks like gold and pavé small diamonds.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak frosted gold watches are available in 33 mm and 37 mm sizes, as well as rose gold or white gold. The 33mm version has a quartz movement, while the 37mm version is powered by the Audemars Piguet automatic 3120 movement, which can be seen through the sapphire caseback. The 3120 movement has 280 parts and 40 jewels, runs at a speed of 3 Hz, vibrates 21,600 times per hour, and has a power reserve of 60 hours. The bridge is made of Geneva ripples, the golden pendulum is decorated with the Audemars and Piguet family emblems, with stars, birds, castle (Audemars, on the left) and a horse holding it Sword Horse (Piguet, on the right). The movement has a second stop function. Its solid structure, accuracy and reliability make it an excellent internal movement.
