Introducing: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph Openworked Black Ceramic
Firstly, it is extremely time consuming for the brand to produce a full-ceramic watch. It takes 30 hours to make a full-ceramic Royal Oak bracelet, as opposed to six hours to make one in steel. Secondly, I think that seeing full-ceramic RO everywhere will dilute the uniqueness of the material.
Among the more than 80 new references that Audemars Piguet brought to SIHH 2018, two watches featured a black ceramic case: the RO Offshore Grande Complication and the RO Tourbillon Chronograph Openworked. Both came on a rubber strap and the latter was a limited edition of 100 pieces in four variations of 25 pieces each, featuring either a grey, blue, green or gold color combination.
Now we step up to the next level with the Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph Openworked in full black ceramic. Yes, with the full ceramic bracelet.
Only time will tell if I’m right.
