(Click image for gallery - 8 photos)Back in January, during SIHH 2010, Audemars Piguet introduced a new skeletonized timepiece within their Royal Oak collection. And after almost a year of anticipation, AP has just released the first official press images for their beautiful new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Squelette timepiece. Skeleton watches, unlike a tourbillon or minute repeater, are not considered as complications. However, the creation of such pieces is extremely complicated. Many hours go into hand skeletonizing and engraving each timepiece. Whether it is Audemars Piguet or another brand, like Benzinger for example, skeleton timepieces are unique works of art. Unfortunately, the skill of engraving and skeletonizing timepieces, at this level, does not come cheap. Expect to pay thirty grand, minimum, for any fully skeletonized timepiece that is done by hand.

Since my review on the , a number of people asked me how the size of the 3-Timer compares to an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore. Although I answered them that the Linde Werdelin is a bit more flat on the wrist and less ‘in your face’, last weekend I had borrowed an AP ROO Safari for a review and decided to take a side-by-side picture with the Linde Werdelin. As you can see, the dimensions of the Linde Werdelin are comparable to the AP ROO Safari when it comes to width and length, but the height is quite different. The Linde Werdelin is a bit less ‘in your face’ than the Royal Oak Offshore. As wrote on (where I put this picture as well): “Great pair! They should marry instantly. They will have beautiful children.” I wholeheartedly agree.Of course, you can expect a review of the AP ROO Safari here soon
