Watchmaker Audemars Piguet has created a bold new take on its Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillion Openworks in sand gold.<\/h4>\n

There’s something about the desert that captures the imagination, with its soaring, seemingly endless sand dunes capturing the sunlight and shimmering under its heat. It’s a colour that Audemars Piguet has used to eye-catching effect with its new 41 mm Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked, which has been released in sand gold, an 18-carat gold alloy<\/a> named after sand dunes in the sunlight.<\/p>\n

A combination of gold with copper and palladium, sand gold wavers between white and pink gold, while providing resistance to discolouration, making it both a durable and timeless material.<\/p>\n

The sand gold case and bracelet are finished with the Manufacture\u2019s trademark alternation of satin brushing and polished chamfers, while the large mirror-polished bevels of the octagonal bezel and the chamfers adorning every link and stud of the tapering bracelet accentuate the play of light conferred by this remarkable material.<\/p>\n

To match the case and bracelet, the Manufacture has developed a sand-gold-toned hue, obtained through a galvanic treatment, to adorn the inner bezel as well as the openworked bridges and mainplate of Calibre 2972 movement, visible on both sides of the watch. The openworked components have been finished horizontally and vertically to accentuate the movement\u2019s depth, while the brushed and polished angles enhance the timepiece’s play on light.<\/p>\n

The sand-gold-toned bridges and mainplate are contrasted with touches of grey, while the rhodium-toned barrel, geartrain and flying tourbillon at 6 o\u2019clock are complemented by white gold hour-markers and hands, all filled with luminescent material.<\/p>\n

To give pride of place to the movement\u2019s openworked architecture, the \u201cAudemars Piguet\u201d signature has been printed in black on the glareproofed sapphire crystal at 12 o\u2019clock. On the caseback side, the rhodium-toned 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight furthers the two-tone aesthetic of the openworked movement.<\/p>\n
