March 6, 2017: Celebrating the launch of its very first, iconic Royal Oak Chronograph, watchmaker Audemars Piguet has come out with a new 20th anniversary 2017 version of the watch.
The new range harks back to the look first seen in 2008. All seven models in the new series follow the two-tone dial design, with several new design details: chronograph counters of increased size that expand at 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock, shorter but wider hour-markers, additional luminescent coating for better readability and new typeset and transfers. The date window has been relocated between the 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock position.
The watch is available in four versions with pink gold, which are available on a matching pink gold bracelet or an alligator strap and with a choice of brown or blue ‘Grande Tapisserie’ dials. The steel versions of the watch are offered with a choice of ‘Grande Tapisserie’ dials in black, silver or blue and are fitted with stainless steel bracelets.
