Every innovation is preceded by a great legacy. Therefore, before the golden sand presented by Audemars Piguet, there have been others. And in watchmaking, pure gold (24 carats) – revered since time immemorial for its uniqueness, value, aesthetic quality, durability and technical properties – is usually combined with other metals such as copper, silver and palladium to create alloys. more solid and resistant, each one with its own color, hardness and technical properties.
In the artisanal pieces of the Swiss Haute Horlogerie Manufacture, they were previously yellow, white, pink or green gold. Alloys that Audemars Piguet has used in his watches, which mark a way of being in the world. Because theirs are creations that shine, at the same time, as pieces of craftsmanship and fashion accessories. They are elegant, daring and versatile watches.
Now, the new 41mm Royal Oak Volante Automatic Skeleton Tourbillon in Sand Gold continues this ancient legacy of gold watches. And it does so with a precious metal, never before used by any brand to date, which promises a rich play of light thanks to the changing color that results from the combination of 18-karat gold with copper and a touch of palladium. Halfway between white gold and rose gold, its tone changes depending on the angle and light, offering various aesthetic possibilities. It is the magic that promises this new piece of contemporary design and timeless elegance that, like other 18-karat gold alloys, is resistant to fading and yellowing. But the new 41 mm Royal Oak Volante Automatic Skeleton Tourbillon made in sand gold is much more than its novel alloy.
A handmade piece that, at the same time, is timeless fashion. This is the new 41 mm Royal Oak Automatic Flying Tourbillon Skeleton from Audemars Piguet, which has come to revolutionize aesthetics with its sandy gold and rich play of light.
