Audemars Piguet has revealed the latest addition to the house, with its new miniature Royal Oak quartz timepiece.
The new watch measures a mere 23 mm in diameter and is executed in a choice of 18-carat yellow, white or pink gold.
These mini monochrome timepieces combine the strong aesthetic codes of the original Royal Oak with the shimmering brilliance of Frosted Gold to create a striking visual effect.
Inspired by the Manufacture’s rich history of miniature and jewellery watches, this trio of petite watches offer a contemporary interpretation of the 20 mm Mini Royal Oak launched in 1997.
Discussing the new launch, Ilaria Resta the Chief Executive Officer at Audemars Piguet said: “These mini creations pay tribute not only to Audemars Piguet’s long tradition of miniature and jewellery watches, but also to the women who have left their mark on the history of the brand, including Jacqueline Dimier to whom we owe the first Royal Oak for women, and Carolina Bucci, the mastermind behind the Frosted Gold finish.”
Indeed, through rethinking the proportions, architecture, design and performance of the smallest Royal Oak ever made, the new “Mini Oak” collection builds on the Manufacture’s legacy to open up horizons for the slenderest wrists, while adapting to contemporary lifestyle with a quartz movement offering over seven years of battery life.
