From the ancient Florentine hammering technique to the subtle iridescence of the microstructured Tapisserie squares, the new Royal Oak Self-Winding Carolina Butch Limited Edition opens a new game in the light. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore replica
Carolina Bucci has been bringing her unique Florentine style to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak collection since 2016. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak collection this year, she envisioned a new interpretation of this iconic black ceramic model. Multicolor reflections on the dial. This new limited edition watch once again proves her extraordinary talent in creating unique Royal Oak watches.
Carolina Bucci's Audemars Piguet story is well worth telling. It all started on the streets of New York when she spotted a woman wearing a beautiful yellow watch. Fascinated by the woman and her watch, she followed her into a department store to see if she could glance at the name on the dial. After the mission, she forwarded the message to her husband (as her birthday was approaching), only to find that the cheap replica watches was no longer in production. Not intimidated by the details, her husband found a vintage model, much to her delight, and the watch became a permanent fixture on her wrist.
The story could have ended there, but as a high-profile jeweler, photos of her wearing a watch were regularly seen in the media, catching the attention of Audemars Piguet CEO François-Henry Bennahmias. When the two finally meet, he can't help but ask why she's wearing an old man's watch instead of something from the brand's women's collection - and she replies that women's watches aren't made for her! Attracted by her confidence and sense of style, Bennahmias challenged her to design the Royal Oak for women, a challenge she eagerly accepted.
The resulting watch – the Royal Oak Frosted Gold Carolina Butch – was launched to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the first Royal Oak ladies watch designed by Jaqueline Dimier in 1976. It was an instant success with the Florentine hammering technique on the case and bracelet, which looked like diamond dust. Two models were initially released, with a choice of 37mm and 33mm white or rose gold. It was followed by a limited edition of 300 pieces in gold with a mirrored dial in 2018.Corum replica
This is the third and latest timepiece collaboration between Audemars Piguet and Carolina Bucci, featuring a 34mm all-black ceramic case with a Tapisserie dial that reflects the full spectrum of colors in the light. At first glance, the piece appears to be black, but as it moves in the light, multiple colors begin to appear. This iridescent effect is achieved through a sapphire dial decorated with microstructured squares, which are then placed on top of the brass dial to recreate this magical effect of light and shadow. The gold-tone metallic coating, developed especially for the occasion, is also applied to the back of the sapphire plate to create a mirror effect and shine on the dial.
"I wanted to place a rainbow in the most unexpected places, like when you see oil floating in a puddle on a city street," she explained. "So here, you can see every color of the spectrum on a completely black canvas, which is itself colorless," she noted.high quality replica watches
Not only does each dial have a different color reflection, but this timepiece also features other contrasting colors, with the rose gold hex screws stand out against the black satin ceramic bezel. Rose gold screws are also used on the indexes, hands and 22-carat rotor. The bracelet has been slightly modified to hide the pins that connect the links to the studs, the AP monogram on the dial has been replaced with a long-from signature engraved on the sapphire crystal and filled with white lacquer, and the caseback features the inscription "Limited Edition Carolina Bucci".
This new Carolina Bucci limited edition is striking with its optical rainbow effect, bringing a new light and shadow to the Royal Oak collection. To get a glimpse of this unique new timepiece, you can see it exclusively in Audemars Piguet stores and AP Houses. Definitely worth the detour.Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar
