Audemars Piguet 15300 Royal Oak watch

The Audemars Piguet 15300 Royal Oak watch is a stunning new interpretation of the famed Audemars Piguet classic sports timepiece. Introduced in 1972, the Royal Oak came to represent a tremendous success for Audemars Piguet, ultimately defining the very essence of luxurious sports watches. Its unique eight-sided porthole bezel with hexagonal white gold screws and the integrated bracelet with its numerous hand-polished facets offer a true delight for the senses of both sight and touch. The Audemars Piguet 15300 Royal Oak watch retains all the brilliance of the original Royal Oak "Jumbo" watch, but offers some subtle distinctions of its own, most notably a stunning new Audemars Piguet Manufacture movement.

The Audemars Piguet 3120 Caliber represents Audemars Piguet's first totally in-house designed selfwinding movement. Designed to reflect the finest in the haute horlogerie traditions, yet remain rugged and easy to service, the 3120 Caliber features a thickness of 4.25mm, a full balance bridge, and a free-sprung Gyromax balance wheel with a frequency of 21,600 beats per hour. Notably, it has fully wound power reserve of approximately 60 hours, as well as a stop-seconds function and a date display which incorporates a device that prevents setting-related damage. The Audemars Piguet 3120 Caliber, visible through the exhibition sapphire caseback of the 15300 Royal Oak watch, also demonstrates an exceptional degree of refinement. Screws and jewel settings are all fully polished, and the bridges feature luxurious Cotes de Geneve decoration. The rotor, which winds bi-directionally, is crafted from solid 22K gold, and features the intricate carved crests of the Audemars and Piguet families.

Audemars Piguet offers the 15300 Royal Oak watch in both stainless steel and 18K rose gold. In stainless steel, this Royal Oak timepiece features a new bracelet with a uniquely designed triple-deployant folding clasp and a two-point release mechanism; these elements, like the rest of the watch, are beautifully designed and immaculately finished. This watch is available with a black, silver, or blue dial complete with the famous "Grande Tapisserie" pattern. The Audemars Piguet 15300 Royal Oak watch is stunning in 18K rose gold as well, with either the black, or the silver dial; both of these models are completed by a crocodile strap which comes with a fine 18K gold folding clasp in the shape of the Audemars Piguet initials. All versions of the 15300 Royal Oak watch display bold hands and hour markers crafted from gold, which feature a beautiful, faceted shape that subtly echoes the striking case and bracelet of the watch. The beautiful Audemars Piguet 15300 Royal Oak timepiece carries on the legacy of a luxury watch classic, its impeccable detail and mechanical sophistication ready to win the hearts of a new generation of Audemars Piguet aficionados.
