A MODERN AND REFINED AESTHETIC

THE RESOLUTELY MODERN COLLECTION IS COMPOSED OF SEVERAL ROYAL OAK AND ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE REFERENCES, FOR THE FIRST TIME ENDOWED WITH A SIMILAR MINIMALIST AESTHETIC. ADAPTABLE TO ALL WRIST TYPES, THESE SOBER TIMEPIECES RANGING FROM 37 TO 42 MM IN DIAMETER LET THE OWNER'S PERSONALITY SHINE THROUGH AND CONSTITUTE A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE WORLDS OF FASHION AND HAUTE HORLOGERIE.

IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE THE AESTHETICS AS CLEAN AND PURE AS POSSIBLE, MATTHEW WILLIAMS AND AUDEMARS PIGUET HAVE REDUCED THE GOLD DIALS TO THEIR SIMPLEST FORM TO HIGHLIGHT THEIR ELEGANT VERTICAL SATIN FINISHING. THE RESULT IS TIMELESS MONOCHROME TIMEPIECES THAT BLEND REFINED AESTHETICS WITH ADVANCED WATCHMAKING TECHNIQUES.

A MODERN AND REFINED AESTHETIC

THE TWO ROYAL OAK MODELS ARE CRAFTED ENTIRELY OF 18- CARAT YELLOW GOLD. THE 37 MM SELFWINDING MODEL TELLS THE HOURS, SECONDS AND MINUTES. THE HOUR-MARKERS AND DATE APERTURE HAVE BEEN REMOVED TO HIGHLIGHT THE GOLD DIAL'S REFINED VERTICAL SATIN FINISHING. THE MINIMALIST DIAL IS COMPLEMENTED WITH LUMINESCENT YELLOW-GOLD HANDS AND THE SIGNATURES "AUDEMARS PIGUET AND "1017 ALYX 9SM." THE 41 MM ROYAL OAK SELFWINDING CHRONOGRAPH PUSHES THE MINIMALISM OF THE DIAL TO THE LIMIT, GOING SO FAR AS TO ELIMINATE THE CHRONOGRAPH COUNTERS, LEAVING ONLY THE HANDS TO ROTATE AT 3, 6 AND 9 O'CLOCK.

THE TWO ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE MODELS FOLLOW THE SAME THEME, DISPENSING WITH THE INFORMATION USUALLY PRESENT ON THE DIAL AND KEEPING ONLY THE BARE MINIMUM. THESE 42 MM LIMITED EDITIONS ARE AVAILABLE IN A CHOICE OF 18-CARAT
WHITE OR YELLOW GOLD, GIVING THEM A STYLE THAT IS BOTH SOBER AND DAZZLING. EQUIPPED WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S
INTERCHANGEABLE STRAP SYSTEM, THESE MODELS ARE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADDITIONAL STRAP IN BLACK RUBBER FOR AN INTENSE CONTRAST.

WHILE THE TWO 37 MM ROYAL OAK SELFWINDING MODELS HOUSE CALIBRE 5909, THE 41 MM ROYAL OAK SELFWINDING IS POWERED BY THE MANUFACTURER'S LATEST SELFWINDING
MOVEMENT WITH INTEGRATED FLYBACK CHRONOGRAPH, CALIBRE 4409.
THE TWO ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE MODELS ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE CALIBRE 4404, WHICH COMES WITH AN INTEGRATED CHRONOGRAPH AND A FLYBACK FUNCTION.

We are more united by our similarities than our differences

Only rigor, precision and expert knowledge can create meaningful innovation

High technology is a powerful companion to deliberately crafted attention to detail

Conflict serves a social purpose by sharpening unpopular convictions

There is mystery and excitement in the performance of the commonplace

There is no such thing as a finished product, only an advanced prototype

Portable personal objects project our private spheres into shared space

Privacy today means to be seen and heard but not understood

An intervention at the scale of the everyday changes everything afterwards, forever
