N E W M o d e l - Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold Carolina Bucci
Tue, 02 October 2018 08:58
Limited Edition of 300 Pieces
The creative partnership of Audemars Piguet and Italian jewellery designer Carolina Bucci delivers another surprise with this eponymous 37mm limited edition Royal Oak in 18kt yellow gold. The shiny, silver-toned mirror, framed with the shimmering sparkle of a Frosted Gold case and bracelet, replaces the trademark "Tapisserie" Royal Oak dial. Described by its designer as "rebellious" in character, this is an attention-grabbing piece, made in the image of a woman of today : spontaneous, true-to-life and totally unapologetic.
Carolina Bucci's original 2016 Frosted Gold design celebrated 40 years of Royal Oak for women. With this limited edition, her design evolves in new directions. For the first time, the 'diamond dust' finish appears in yellow gold--the designer's favourite version of this precious metal. There's novelty in the packaging as well, with a mirrored box bearing a Frosted Gold AP insignia. This mirrored box is also designed by Carolina Bucci, who believes in pulling out luxury watch packaging from the back of the closet to put it on display.
Technical Specifications:
The case, in fully hammered 18kt yellow gold, measures 37mm. It has a sapphire crystal and it is water resistant to 50 meters. Caseback engraved with the legend "Limited Edition Carolina Bucci"

It comes on a fully hammered 18kt yellow gold bracelet.
