Bokey TimeHello everyone, I’m Bokey. Today I will share with you an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch launched by XF Factory, I believe that many cousins think of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, they will think of the blue side, and then think about it a little more, it is black and white, but today this is a champagne gold plate, also known as: salmon plate and salmon color plate, this is a new product released at last year’s Geneva Watch Fair, the diameter of the watch is 39mm, the thickness is 8mm, very light and thin, and it is suitable for long-sleeved clothing. The original model has a white gold case, replaced by 316 steel from the XF factory, and the dial is decorated with a classic check. This salmon color (XF factory uses champagne gold instead, the color difference is almost 0) is a faint golden yellow – in fact, with the base of royal oak, it looks good with any color, as the so-called “light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate”.
Introducing the original AP Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202 Champagne Gold Plate Replica
As a pioneer in the design of octagonal bezels, Audemars Piguet pioneered this trend in the early 1970s. Since then, Audemars Piguet has provided us with a wide range of Royal Oak models and has been able to delight fans with their creativity every year. Of course, at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in Geneva in 2019, a number of new models have been added to the collection. The 18-carat white gold Royal Oak “Jumbo” ultra-thin watch with a small checkered dial in rose gold “Petite Tapisserie” has managed to capture everyone’s attention. The 39 mm size, which is not outstanding by today’s standards, was named “Jumbo” as a nod to the classic prototype, and at that time 39 mm was considered oversized
With a diameter of 39 mm and a thickness of just 8 mm, the original is made of 18-carat white gold, while the XF factory replica is made of 316 stainless steel. The white gold model, which was only used in a Royal Oak watch from the 80s, was cold and luxurious compared to other materials. The front and back of the case are brushed on the front and sides, with a classic octagonal bezel and 8 hexagonal screws, presenting the most recognizable design of the collection.
The colour of the dial, also known as Champagne Gold, elevates the colour and elegance of the entire model, with the iconic “Petite Tapisserie” small check decoration with white luminescent applied indexes and Royal Oak hands. The date window at 3 o’clock adds a practical function to the watch. The 6 o’clock position is decorated with a three-dimensional brand “AP”.
The front of the octagonal bezel is brushed and polished, and the side is polished, showing two different metallic textures, which is also a test of whether a manufacturer has strong strength and technical capabilities. Designing a watch that combines wearing comfort with an elegant case is an art and requires a high level of technical craftsmanship. The bezel is set with eight hexagonal screws that reflect the most legendary aesthetic of the Royal Oak collection.
The crown remains hexagonal in shape, echoing the octagonal design of the case, reflecting the brand’s overall aesthetic and is engraved with the Audemars Piguet logo.
The original movement is powered by the Calibre 2121 automatic calibre with a balance spring with a micro-adjustable riser and an adjustable support screw. Flip to the case back and you’ll find a movement decorated with Côtes de Genève that resembles a sparkling lake, and an openworked 18-carat gold oscillating weight engraved with the word “AP”. The XF factory’s first domestic replica of the 2121 movement, instead of using the 9015 movement to change the bridge, so in terms of the current movement, XF has still reached a 90% degree of restoration.
XF Factory AP Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202 Champagne Gold Salmon Plate Replica Table Adjustment Calendar Method, Calendar Adjustment: Return the time to about 9 o’clock, and then adjust it to 12 o’clock, the calendar can jump, and the general watch is different, this function is also a way to identify whether it is XF Factory 15202.
The strap with 316L stainless steel integrated process is mainly based on the “decreasing” link structure, with a folding clasp with the word AP. These designs are faithful to the originals, with a classic charm and full of charm.
