As the women’s Royal Oak celebrates its 40th anniversary, Audemars Piguet has unveiled its all-new Royal Oak Frosted Gold in the Middle East. A shining reinvention of an iconic design, this contemporary timepiece was created in collaboration with Florentine jewellery designer Carolina Bucci.

The defining feature of the Royal Oak Frosted Gold resides in its shimmering sparkle, created by an ancient gold hammering technique whereby gold is beat with a diamond tipped tool to create tiny indentations that give a sparkle effect, like diamond dust.

The Royal Oak Frosted Gold is available in white gold and pink gold, each in 33mm and 37mm.

Quote by Jacqueline Dimier:

“I am very happy to participate in this launch. The Royal Oak collection is a timepiece that meets women’s taste today like it it did yesterday, and it will continue to do so tomorrow. It’s timeless and the Royal Oak Frosted Gold is the latest chapter in this ongoing story.”

Quotes by Carolina Bucci:

“I think it is less common for watches to be designed by women, than, say, fashion or jewellery – and that was even truer when Jacqueline Dimier designed the first Royal Oak for women. Everybody knows about the quality and craftsmanship of Audemars Piguet, but perhaps by injecting this feminine sensibility, people see a new side – something a bit more flamboyant and exuberant with just as much attention to detail.”

“The Royal Oak is one of the most iconic watch designs in existence. That is quite daunting when you are considering how to refresh something aesthetically. I wanted to give the watch a dynamic quality that captures the attention of those who see it. When I think about my jewellery, I think about both the wearer AND those who will see it being worn. By treating the finish of the gold with a Florentine effect, you have added nothing to the watch, nor subtracted anything – just altered the surface of the gold to make it sparkle when catching the light. In doing so, the watch becomes something entirely fresh and confident.”
