SIHH 2017: Audemars Piguet Facelifts the Royal Oak Chronograph 41mm, Plus One in Titanium & Platinum Perfect Clone Online Shopping
Once the hammers hit the gongs, this membrane vibrates and behaves like the sound board of a guitar, radically amplifying the looks of their gongs. In addition, the true titanium case back is slightly raised to cover this membrane and contains apertures across the edge to allow sounds to escape. This contributes to one of the minute repeater watches we have ever heard. And interestingly, the watch seems even louder when it’s worn on the wrist!At the close of the afternoon, the Audemars Piguet Legacy Watch Replica Royal Oak Concept Supersonnerie Tourbillon Chronograph watch is still another successful showcase of the brand’s almost breathtaking technical know-how and one of a kind design sense. It is a thoroughly modern take on a few of horology’s earliest complications, and also we could observe that in the instance of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Supersonnerie Tourbillon Chronograph view, it’s also been thoroughly improved.And should you think that all of this won’t come cheap, you would be right. Though the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Supersonnerie Tourbillon Chronograph watch isn’t a limited edition, it has a princely cost of $597,400.
Five years after its launch, the Royal Oak Chronograph 41mm has been restyled for SIHH 2017. Audemars Piguet kept the fundamentals the same, applying some minor tweaks to the dial to give it a sportier look (compare it with the earlier version).
All the new Royal Oak Chronograph variants feature two-tone dials, with the sub-dials in contrasting colours. Another obvious change are the enlarged registers for elapsed minute and hours, while that for the constant seconds has been reduced. This improves legibility somewhat, since elapsed time has to be read, while the sub-seconds is merely a reminder that the watch is running.
To the same end, the hour markers are now wider and shorter, with a broader strip of Super-Luminova for increased nighttime glow; the same has been done for the hands as well (the counterweight of the seconds hand now has luminescent paint as well).
All the Royal Oak Chronograph 41mm models are equipped with the calibre 2385, which is actually the Frederic Piguet 1185, a compact and slim automatic movement.
The new range includes four models in pink gold, in either blue or brown, accompanied by either an alligator strap or matching gold bracelet, as well as three in stainless steel with black, white or blue dials.
All in stainless steel, except the bottom right in titanium and platinum

And most intriguing, the line-up also includes the Royal Oak Chronograph 41mm in titanium and platinum (ref. 26331IP.OO.1220IP.01).
This unusual, boutique-only model has most of the case and bracelet in brushed titanium, with the bezel and centre links of the bracelet in polished platinum for a striking contrast of surface finishes.
And the dial is grey with the sub-dials and minute chapter ring in dark blue, the same combination of colours found on the first generation Royal Oak Offshore in titanium.
