Audemars Piguet has introduced its new Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Large Date. This latest 43mm model is a technical marvel and a design innovation, thanks to the brand’s new Chroma Forged Technology (CFT). For the first time, Audemars Piguet incorporates colored forged carbon into its case, blending blue luminescent pigments directly into the carbon fibers. The result is an ultra-light, scratch-resistant material that displays a unique pattern for each case, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional durability. Complemented by a sleek black ceramic bezel and crown, this timepiece stands out as both a style statement and an engineering feat.
The openworked dial showcases the intricate mechanics of the self-winding Caliber 4407, a movement that includes a sophisticated split-seconds chronograph mechanism, perfect for precision timing. The blue highlights on the inner bezel and counters offer a striking contrast to the black and grey tones of the movement, enhancing both legibility and visual impact. The white gold hour markers and hands glow blue in low-light conditions, providing a modern touch. With water resistance up to 50 meters and a 70-hour power reserve, the Royal Oak Concept is built for elegance and endurance.
Not just a visual masterpiece, the Royal Oak Concept also features advanced functionality. The GMT day-night display can be easily adjusted, and the flyback chronograph ensures that timing restarts smoothly without stopping first. Fitted with a blue rubber strap and an easy-to-use strap interchangeability system, this timepiece balances sportiness and sophistication. Pricing is only available by request; this limited-edition marvel is perfect for collectors who appreciate the marriage of cutting-edge technology and timeless design.
