In 1982, Audemars Piguet introduced its first high-jewelry Royal Oak watch, or Haute Joaillerie if you prefer the French term. Since then, the brand has delighted enthusiasts with an array of gem-set Royal Oak watches, not only featuring various precious metals and sizes but also incorporating an assortment of gemstones such as diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. audemars piguet replica, hailing from Le Brassus, now showcases its expertise in high-jewelry techniques with the all-new Audemars Piguet Snow-Set Royal Oak watches in 34mm and 37mm sizes. This marks the inaugural appearance of the relatively new and highly challenging gem-setting technique within the Royal Oak collection.

Snow setting involves utilizing diamonds of different sizes to create an irregular yet harmonious pattern, akin to different-shaped snowflakes coming together to blanket the ground in a dazzling bright white. While the concept sounds simple, executing the task of covering a surface with a mosaic of diamonds in varying sizes is no small feat. Nevertheless, when executed meticulously, it yields a striking display that, arguably, holds more visual interest than uniformly diamond-paved surfaces. It's important to note that audemars piguet replica for sale have employed snow-set diamonds before, with the 2015 Diamond Punk and 2017 Diamond Outrage high jewelry pieces showcasing this intricate technique. However, the Snow-Set Royal Oak watches mark the first time this captivating treatment has been applied to the Royal Oak collection.

Diverging from the standard-production Royal Oak Selfwinding 34mm and 37mm watches, the high-jewelry variants adorned with diamond snow-setting forgo date windows on their dials best replica watch sites. This strategic choice ensures that the dazzling parade of gems remains uninterrupted. The 34mm model is powered by the Caliber 5809, boasting a 50-hour power reserve, while the 37mm version houses the Caliber 5909 with a 60-hour power reserve—the same movement featured in the 37mm models of the recently unveiled Royal Oak 1017 ALYX 9SM watches discussed by David Bredan. Naturally, the movements are visible through sapphire casebacks, showcasing a 22k gold rotor and traditional decorative elements like Côtes de Genève, circular satin, and snailing.

However, it's reasonable to assume that individuals wearing these high-jewelry replica watch sites might not be venturing anywhere near a pool or a sink full of dirty dishes.
