The Audemars Piguet Mini Royal Oak makes a mighty comeback
Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet unveils a new miniature Royal Oak quartz model – a contemporary interpretation of the 20mm Mini Royal Oak launched in 1997.
Measuring a mere 23 mm diameter and executed in a choice of 18-carat yellow, white or pink gold, these mini monochrome timepieces combine the strong aesthetic codes of the original Royal Oak with the shimmering brilliance of Frosted Gold to create a striking visual effect. Inspired by an ancient Florentine jewellery technique, the Frosted Gold finish was revisited by jewellery designer Carolina Bucci and adapted by Audemars Piguet artisans in 2016 to adorn the Manufacture’s timepieces.
