Audemars Piguet Openworked Self-Winding Royal OakAs brutal as it is, the new Audemars Piguet Openworked Self-Winding Royal Oak watch leaves a somewhat peculiar impression. The first association that comes to mind when looking at a version in stainless steel, is a Terminator T-800 wearing lace and silk and keeping a straight face about it.The version in rose gold is, at the other hand, is more to the point since it brings in images of noble knights and their deceitful suzerains. The lace is still here, but so is gold and, hey, knights did wear plumes and jewelry and other stuff that was deemed luxurious during the Middle Ages!Also, the combination of rose gold, brown natural leather and anthracite-colored parts of the dial and movement helps the watch to show-off its beauty, which is hidden below the dull-gray plate mail armor of the stainless steel case and the chunky bracelet made of the same metal.As you can see on the photos, the timepiece’s transparent dial provides a perfect view at the meticulously crafted Calibre 3129 automatic movement with all its bridges and the mainplate straight satin-brushed and subjected to galvanic anthracite treatment.AP’s signature 22-carat rose gold winding rotor is also skeletonized in the shape of the corporate logo.The movement in question is based on the well-known Calibre 3120 base movement that also powers the last year’s Audemars Piguet Millenary Quincy Jones limited edition and the more brutal Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver.AP doesn’t go into details, but it looks like the only difference between the two is that the Caliber AP 3129 lacks the AP 3120’s date module. The power reserve of 60 hours is still here, though, as is the stop-seconds function, which makes it easier to set the time more precisely.
