Introducing: Audemars Piguet replica watches Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Big Date



A Limited Edition watch with an Innovative Carbon Fiber Case

Today, we take a look at the new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Big Date. This is a wild piece that debuts an innovative case material that took over five years to develop. Get ready for some bright visual excitement!

Audemars Piguet concept pieces usually feature new technology from the brand. In a sense, they are like futuristic concept cars, but these watches are produced in limited quantities. A quick look at the various concept pieces for sale on Chrono24 will reveal many previous Royal Oaks, and none of them are under six figures! This is worth keeping in mind when looking at the new Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph, as Audemars Piguet has not yet provided a retail price.

Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Big Date
Let’s get this straight: this best replica watch has a mouthful of a name! From now on, I’m going to refer to it as the Split-Seconds Chronograph to make it easier for you to see. The watch has a 43mm case made from a new material that I will discuss in more detail. We have seen this case design on previous concept watches and it is very eye-catching. At 17.4mm thick, this watch is a bold move from AP. Sapphire crystals are used on the front and back to fully display the movement. The watch comes with a blue rubber strap and a titanium folding clasp. For added versatility, AP also offers this watch with a black strap. In addition, this wild wonder watch is water-resistant to 50 meters, which can be used for occasional dives on the French Riviera.

Case Design
The case of the new split-seconds chronograph is complex and made from a material reminiscent of Formula 1 cars. The black ceramic bezel is embedded with eight common titanium screws. The same material is also used for the crown and the buttons on both sides of the case. In addition, AP has chosen titanium for the various button guards. However, the real highlight is the use of the middle case and a new material called CFT (Chroma Forged Technology).

CFT, a new material
Press materials tell us that the AP R&D team spent more than five years perfecting this material, and obtained a patent to protect the manufacturing process. First, this new material has multiple advantages. It is more resistant to impact, scratches, and moisture than traditional carbon. The moisture resistance comes from the lower porosity, while the increased scratch resistance comes from the lower amount of resin in the mix. replica Breitling Premier watches


Particularly interesting is that individual carbon fibers can be colored with pigments and arranged in a mold according to personal preference. Resin is then added and the process is repeated until the right volume is reached. The block is then placed in an autoclave to cure. The process takes six to eight hours until the final middle case shape remains. But wait; there's more! For the split-seconds chronograph, AP chose a luminous blue pigment that gives a fantastic display even in dark environments. It's so beautiful that I'd love to see it in person.

A modern dial that matches the case material
AP Royal Oak Concept models usually feature bold dial designs, and the new split-seconds chronograph follows the trend. It features an open dial that complements the modern case design and shows the inner workings of the watch. A black PVD-coated nickel plate is the base of the dial. Note the rhodium-plated polished edges and blue-finished counters. The white gold hands and indexes are filled with white luminous material, which emits blue light in the dark.

Functionally, this watch is equipped with a flyback mechanism and a split-second chronograph. The date display at the top of the dial has two hollow discs that rotate on a luminous platform. Therefore, the numbers can also be displayed at night. As for the indicators, the bottom subdial shows the running seconds, the left chronograph disc is a 30-minute counter, and the right subdial is a 24-hour GMT. The button at 9 o'clock adjusts the GMT.

Audemars Piguet 4407 Split-Second Chronograph Movement
The numerous functions are powered by the in-house automatic movement 4407. This movement, which debuted in 2023, contains 73 jewels and provides a 70-hour power reserve. It has a frequency of 28,800vph. As expected, this movement is very complex, with 638 parts! Other niceties include multiple finishing techniques and a non-magnetic balance spring.

The new Royal Oak Concept Split Seconds Chronograph GMT Big Date will be produced in limited quantities. It will also undoubtedly be very expensive. So think of it as a showcase of what Audemars Piguet can create when there are no boundaries. Is this a watch I would be happy to wear? I usually go for watches with a more conservative style, but I can appreciate the innovation and workmanship of this replica luxury watches.
