Review the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Floating Tourbillon Frosted Gold Watch Replica

Tourbillon, from the French for "whirlpool". It refers to the integration of the watch's regulating mechanisms - the escapement fork, escapement wheel, balance wheel and hairspring - into a frame that rotates continuously through 360 degrees to counteract the effects of gravity on the hairspring in order to make the watch more accurate.

Like a Roman amphitheater, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Floating Tourbillon white gold watch replica (Ref.26630 BC.GG.D326CR.01) features a floating tourbillon that rotates magnificently in the center of the stage, as the auditorium rises one level at a time. The multi-layered dial is composed of four eccentric circles of increasing size, in a gradient of blue, as if rippling outwards from the tourbillon cage at 6 o'clock. The dial is not set with any hour markers, highlighting the purely post-modern style.

Case & Dial

The shape of the tourbillon is a highlight, reminiscent of the camellia and comet tourbillon created for Chanel by the APRP SA movement house, financed by Audemars Piguet and presided over by watchmaking wizard Giulio Papi. However, this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept tourbillon replica has the same off-centered round shape as the dial, and the watchmakers had to deal with the uneven forces on its frame.

The dial is composed of four blue-colored circles of increasing size and brightening hues, emanating from the flying tourbillon cage at 6 o’clock. The sunburst motif further accentuates the dial’s depth. At the heart of the flying tourbillon cage is an openworked gold-tone circle topped with brilliant-cut diamonds. The dial features no hour-markers to “enhance the purity of this contemporary design,” according to Audemars Piguet.

Another highlight is the frosted gold case, this model replica is the first to offer the “frosted gold” motif— an ancient Florentine jewelry technique — on the sculptural, multifaceted Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept copy case. The tiny indentations on the gold surface, similar to those of its “diamond dust” predecessor, are created with a diamond-tipped tool, to give a “sparkle” effect like that of precious stones, another process that dates back to ancient Florence. With a diameter of 38.5 mm, the case is available in white (Ref.26630 BC.GG.D326CR.01) or pink gold (Ref.26630OR.GG.D326CR. 01) and is manually wound with a power reserve of 72 hours.

The AP watch replica, with a shimmering “frosted gold” finish and a contemporary dial composed of multiple layers, is the latest piece to emerge from Audemars Piguet’s collaboration with Florentine jewelry designer Carolina Bucci. Describing the first Frosted Gold timepiece for WatchTime in 2018, Bucci said, “I took the perfection of the Royal Oak case and bracelet and ‘roughed them up’ a little, juxtaposing the perfectly imperfect Florentine finish with Swiss watchmaking precision.” 

Caseback

The manually winding flying tourbillon Caliber 2964, with its circular motif matching the design of the dial, is on display behind a sapphire caseback. The movement’s circular motif is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback and alternates between sandblasted and satin-brushing that echoes the finishes of the “frosted gold” case and sunburst dial. The two models are finished with a dark blue alligator strap, with large square scales, and include an additional blue-textured rubber strap featuring a constellation motif. Each strap’s folding clasp matches the “frosted gold” of its case.

Inside the 38.5-mm-diameter case (its predecessor measures 37 mm in diameter) is the manually-wound manufacture Caliber 2964. At a diameter of 29.5 mm, the movement contains 207 components, including 17 jewels, beats at a frequency of 3 Hz (21,600-vph) and holds a minimum power reserve of 72 hours. The case’s crown, set with a translucent sapphire cabochon (a gemstone that is shaped and polished), secures its water-resistant to 20 meters.

Price

Complemented with a dark blue alligator strap and "frosted gold" buckle compatible with the case material, the replica Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon is priced at CHF 145,000.
