The audemars piguet royal oak concept gmt tourbillon white ceramic replica watch is just the latest addition to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept family which saw its birth in 2008. And, believe me when I say, the Concept GMT Tourbillon is a doozy. Inside the decidedly geometric titanium case in an in-house AP manual-wind, 10-day movement with twin-barrels, a beautiful white ceramic upper plate, tourbillon, 24-hour GMT, day-night indicator and functions selector which are all visible through the open-working and display back.
The first thing you might notice about the new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept GMT Tourbillon is that it is stark… very, very stark. Audemars Piguet uses bright white ceramic and titanium to create a watch that is not dissimilar in appearance to a Star Wars Storm Trooper and is actually quite cool.
Giving a lovely audemars piguet royal oak concept replica contrast to the 44 mm anodized titanium case are a white ceramic bezel, crown and pusher. In addition to being almost perfectly white, the ceramic bits are also virtually scratchproof and need diamond-tipped tools to mill each piece. As a matter of fact, whereas AP usually takes about 45 minuted to mill a steel bezel, this particular ceramic pieces takes about 8 hours to create from beginning to end.
Just like all audemars piguet royal oak concept gmt tourbillon replica, I’m sure the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept GMT Tourbillon won’t be cheap and certainly won’t be available at a store near you. This is one of those pieces you’ll have to get at an Audemars Piguet Boutique, which in the U.S. means a trip to the Bal Harbour Shops in Miami or to E 57th Street in New York.
