Pure gold, being too soft for practical use in watchmaking, is typically blended with other metals to create alloys that are durable enough for high-end timepieces. Audemars Piguet’s latest innovation in this area is an 18k gold alloy called “sand gold,” which sits between rose and white gold in hue and changes depending on the light. To showcase this unique material, the Swiss watchmaker has introduced the Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked, a striking new model with a case and bracelet made entirely of sand gold, along with matching galvanic treatment on the skeletonized movement bridges.jacob &co replica watches
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked ref. 26735SG.OO.1320SG.01, while featuring this new sand gold alloy, remains largely the same as the stainless steel version launched in 2022. It comes in a 41mm sand gold case that’s 10.6mm thick, with the Royal Oak’s signature octagonal bezel held by eight white gold screws. As expected, the watch features a signed crown at 3 o’clock, flat sapphire crystals on both the dial and caseback, and 50 meters of water resistance for daily wear. To complete the look, the watch is equipped with the Royal Oak’s iconic integrated bracelet, also crafted from sand gold, ensuring a harmonious match with the case.audemars piguet royal oak flying tourbillon burgundy replica
So, what exactly is sand gold? Like other proprietary gold alloys, Audemars Piguet’s sand gold is an 18k blend, meaning it’s made up of 75% pure gold.ap watch replica
