  AUDEMARS PIGUET UNVEILS ITS FIRST 34 MM ROYAL OAK SELFWINDING IN WHITE CERAMIC

The Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet is delighted to present its first 34 mm Royal Oak Selfwinding model crafted entirely in white ceramic.

Faithful to the design of the black ceramic model (77350CE) presented in 2021, this variation is distinguished by an immaculate white colour that is contrasted with touches of pink gold on the screws, hands, hour-markers, caseback and oscillating weight. Sold exclusively in Audemars Piguet boutiques, this new refined and light reference will please slimmer wrists.
 
WHEN SOBRIETY AND LIGHTNESS JOIN FORCES

In line with the timepieces launched in 2021 and 2022, this 34 mm Royal Oak Selfwinding model features a monochrome aesthetic that is enriched with pink gold details.

Taking advantage of the design evolution introduced in 2022 for the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary, the dial features a Grand Tapisserie motif that gives it a refined glow. This shimmer is further enhanced by pink gold details on the luminescent hour-markers and hands as well as on the applied Audemars Piguet signature that is created by galvanic growth.

Pink gold is also present around the edge of the sapphire caseback, through which a pink gold oscillating weight can be admired. In contrast, the steel folding clasp is enriched with a black colour achieved thanks to a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) treatment.

A TECHNICAL CHALLENGE

Harder than black ceramic, the white variant has pushed the technical limits of Audemars Piguet’s know-how for the case and bracelet to welcome the Manufacture’s distinctive alternation of satin-finishing and polished chamfers.

The brilliance of the white ceramic is highlighted by eight hexagonal screws, especially crafted in 18-carat pink gold, which securely attach the bezel to the case while providing a subtle colour detail. Each of the screws has also been meticulously hand-finished.

Following the new aesthetic codes inaugurated last year, the ceramic bracelet features invisible pins that are directly integrated into the studs to connect them to the links.

A DEDICATED MOVEMENT

The selfwinding Calibre 5800 was designed specifically for the Royal Oak 34 mm collection that was unveiled in 2020. It offers a 50-hour power reserve and water resistance to a depth of 50 metres.

The sapphire caseback reveals parts of the mechanism’s components and the dedicated 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight. In keeping with tradition, the movement features high-end decorations such as Côtes de Genève, circular graining, satin and sunray finishes.

The Hastroid’s case, with a diameter of 48 mm, a lug-to-lug distance of 52.3 mm, and a thickness of 13.3 mm, has so far been crafted from advanced noble materials: titanium; titanium and carbon; and an original alloy of stabilized bronze and carbon that bridges memories of the ages and aspirations for the future.

Electrifying, the design of the HASTROID Silver Red defines its own codes, underlining the modern, just-at-the-cusp-of-tomorrow character of the whole.

Its case, made of titanium and black DLC titanium, features a distinctive finish that gives it a satin and sandblasted effect.

The dial, extensively redesigned to improve legibility, features a large central hand with a vivid red coating and sharpened contours for an instantaneous fix on the minutes.

The two sub-counters, arranged like instruments in a cockpit, provide essential complementary information: small seconds at left; power reserve to the right.

The same attention to aesthetics and legibility was applied to the fluid used for the retrograde time indication. The particular luminescence of the red liquid achieved here ensures that the hours pop and are equally easy to read, by day and by night.

For contrast and clarity, a capillary dial topped with white Super-LumiNova® is positioned under the fluidic light.

The hour markers around the chapter ring are made from blocks of Super-LumiNova®. Water-resistant to 30 meters, the HASTROID Silver Red also features a central titanium container to protect the movement.
