Audemars Piguet<br />
Royal Oak Frosted Gold<br />
FOR HER<br />
Gérald Genta’s enduring legacy is the Royal Oak, a timepiece with an octagonal bezel design that brought Audemars<br />
Piguet back from the brink, and one that continues to be the flagship collection of the brand.<br />
In 1971 when it was first shown at the Basel watch fair, it created an all-new category called the luxury sports watch<br />
that didn’t exist until then. Five years later, AP introduced a women’s version of the Royal Oak.<br />
Forty years on, jeweller Carolina Bucci was tasked by Audemars Piguet to create the frosted effect on the<br />
40th-anniversary editions that come in variants of white- and rose-gold and in bezel sizes of 33mm and 37mm. This<br />
here is the rose-gold 37mm version and the frosted look is created by using the Florentine Technique – a diamondtipped<br />
tool hammers the surface of the gold to create the frosted effect.<br />
This one’s a big bold statement on your wrist that’ll shine even brighter the moment you angle it towards the<br />
spotlight – the only place it really belongs.<br />
