As with the “Jumbo”, Audemars Piguet defied common expectations for such a top-of-the-line timepiece by featuring a case made not of precious metals but stainless steel. At a time when the watch industry was still in the throes of the Quartz Crisis and expensive, highly complicated timepieces from traditional Swiss manufacturers like Cheap Audemars Piguet Replica were becoming increasingly scarce, the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar became one of the few mass-produced perpetual calendar watches on the market.
Like the manufacturer’s earliest perpetual calendar watches, the movement tracks leap years but does not display them on the dial, allowing for a cleaner look. Also notable is the absence of the usual large-scale guilloché pattern, instead featuring a sunray finish for the various calendar displays, which is also an important factor in legibility.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Replica Watches For Sale has become something of an icon in its own right, even though it is not as “daily” wearable as the traditional three-hand “jumbo”. In recent years, Audemars Piguet has introduced stunning skeletonized versions, as well as cased versions in materials such as gold and titanium. Of course, the perpetual calendar is not the only complication or haute horlogerie decoration in the now-vast Royal Oak collection, which also includes automatic tourbillon, skeletonized, minute repeater and chronograph models.
Audemars Piguet has become one of the boldest leaders, launching a larger, bolder version of the Royal Oak to suit the tastes and trends of a new generation, the Royal Oak Offshore. While the “Jumbo” is known for its thinness and classic three-hand dial, the Offshore embodies a radical sporting spirit with a 42mm case, a more striking checkered dial, and, for the first time in a Fake Audemars Piguet Watch, a chronograph movement.
Audemars Piguet will lead the way with a series of new releases, including a chronograph, a skeletonized and self-winding flying tourbillon, and a variety of Offshore models, revisiting the Royal Oak “Jumbo”, paying homage to its legendary ancestor while bringing it into a more modern technological age, equipping it with a new in-house movement, the 7121 calibre.
From the outside, the watch, officially named the Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Ref. 16202 Replica with 80% Discount, will be familiar to fans of the 1972 original, as Audemars Piguet has revived the blue color on the dial of this vintage watch, called “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50,” a darker hue than on more recent models. The “AP” applique has been cleverly moved from its original 12 o’clock position to 6 o’clock. The “Jumbo” steel case is still 39 mm in diameter and just 8 mm thick.
But inside, the new automatic movement offers improved shock resistance thanks to a full balance bridge, a higher frequency of 28,800 vph, and a longer power reserve of 55 hours. As an added bonus, the models equipped with this new Audemars Piguet First Copy Watches movement (including rose gold, yellow gold, and platinum models, each with its own colored fumé dial instead of the traditional blue dial) use a version with a special 50th anniversary rotor.
