Today, we'll be talking about the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak with a nickel gray "Grande Tapisserie" dial, all rose gold construction case and bracelet. Reference number: 15450OR.OO.1256OR.01 We'll be going over the case, the bezel, dial, the crown functions, as well as the movement and the bracelet. And I'll be giving you my thoughts on all of these throughout the video. But first, we'll be doing a pseudo unboxing. What does that mean? That's basically just removing the stickers from the bracelet. Now, this is a discontinued model, so you'll get to live vicariously through this video. If you have not actually been able to experience one of these yourself, this is what it'll be like. If my camera will focus. All right, there we go. Now, removing factory stickers is a little bit tougher. There's definitely a pull on them as you try to remove them. And just sort of trying to remove. All right. There we go. And that's basically all there is for the pseudo unboxing. All right. Now, anyway. On to this case here now. We have a 37 millimeter, that makes this a midsize, a very good size actual Royal Oak watch. From finger to thumb, that's 37 millimeters. The thickness, 9.8 millimeters. All right. Just under 10 millimeters in thickness with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal on the front and on the back as well for that exhibition case back. All right. All of this giving you approximately 50 meters of water resistance. Again, entirely rose gold construction, brush finishing along the sides, as well as brush finishing vertically along the top. As you can see from the lugs on the case front all the way down to the lugs at the very bottom. You also still have matching brush finishing along the side of this case here as well. No crown guards, but not really necessary. Okay. And you have this winding crown again also in pink gold. All 18 carats so quite a hefty little chunker here. All right. Now, looking at this bezel, we have, well, basically what you would expect from Audemars Piguet the Royal Oak, a nice high polish on the first bevel of this bezel with a brush finishing going all the way around. All right. Very, very thin little sliver just before that rubber gasket that keeps the water resistance of this watch up. All right. And on the front, we have, again, vertical satin finishing on the front of this bezel as well with all of the hexagonal screws, eight of them in total going around this watch with their slots facing in such a way that you have that gestalt visual principle of closure in which they all sort of connect with each other to create this full and complete circle without actually having to draw it physically on there for you. The outer edges rounded octagonal with the inside being a perfect circle. All right. And also let me mention here on the case, we also have a high polished little accent on the edges of this case here, giving it a very nice distinctive look. Very nice touch from Audemars Piguet there. All right. Now, moving into this dial, we have what is called the nickel or grey nickel or what do they call it? The nickel grey "Grande Tapisserie" pattern dial. So I take issue with calling it nickel grey because it's more a silver, almost a white-ish and almost off-white tone and my camera monitor is actually picking up quite nicely here. So if you referred to this on the website, it is a discontinued model. So you will have to actually plug in the model number directly in order to find it, but they do call it a nickel grey. And it does have like this almost a shade of gray on their website photos, but in person it's much brighter and you could also call it white or silver. Either way, it's incredibly bright compared to what they show on their website. Now, when we call this a "Grande Tapisserie" pattern dial, that's basically these raised squares, but not just raise squares. They also have these guilloche patterning, these concentric little lines sort of carved into these squares to make this sort of a silver sun ray pattern, as you can see. Almost like a sunburst type of pattern as you can see it playing in the light of my light box here. So very subtle, but incredibly effective when it comes to the overall presentation here. And when it comes to this presentation, you have a cohesive presentation with these index hour marks with the matching Royal Oak hands. All of these sort of Breguet style look to these index hour marks. And speaking of which, I can actually turn out the lights here and you can see the luminescence. Very bright actually. My camera's having a tough time focusing because it is a low light situation. So very, very bright actually. Not quite clipping my highlights, but still very easy to read, nonetheless. The hours and minutes hands fully loomed as well as the index hour markers. And you can also look at the three o'clock position. We also have a very, very tiny index hour mark for the three o'clock even though the date aperture is taking up most of that space. We'll get into why that is in just a moment. But taking a look at this, overall very cohesive in its appearance. Just a kind of a really interesting design decision, but that's part of why what makes us kind of an interesting model. Now, taking a look at the functions of this crown here, it works as you would expect. Simply unwind the crown at the three o'clock position to the first position. This allows you to wind the watch. Rather simple. If you're at a dead stop, 20 to 34 winds is all you need to get it up to its full power reserve. No issue there. We also have the second position. Pull it out to the second position and you can actually advance the date at the date aperture by rotating it, it's about a quarter turn. Let me move the minute hand out of the way there for you. So it's about a quarter turn to advance the date by one. So if you find yourself a time traveler, you can just wind it really fast and no issue there. Now, if you find yourself on the 30th of the month, just wait until the next day and just flip it once and you'll be on the first of the next month. No issue there, no need to mess with the time or the the minutes or the hours of the watch. Rather simple there. Pull the crown out to the final position. Note that the seconds hand has actually stopped giving you that hacking function. So you can then adjust the minute hand precisely depending on where that seconds hand is adjusted to an atomic clock and just press it in when you're ready. And there you go. Bob's your uncle. Wind the crown tightly back against the case to ensure that superior water resistance 50 meters. And that basically means I probably wouldn't want to take this down to the maximum 50 meters below sea level. I would personally just take this, you know, surface swimmable. You can probably take a shower with it, but not really much more than that. You can probably take it to the pool just for a quick dip, but that's about it. So anyway, what makes all of this work on the inside? It's the selfwinding manufacture calibre 3120 as you can see through the exhibition case back here. Very nice patterning. The Geneve patterning there with the 22 carat gold rotor with the Audemars Piguet coat of arms there. And also take a look at this case back, we also do have a high polish on that first bevel very much matching that of the bezel and also the screws that go all the way through the case. This is how you would dismantle the watch to do maintenance for it. And also a circular brush finishing along the back with these hallmarks on the back of the case to show that you are indeed dealing with precious metals in this case, a pink gold in its entire construction. So here's the movement beating away at a vibration frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour or 3 Hertz. That means basically six little ticks per second within that seconds hand, still nice and precise. It has a total diameter of 26.6 millimeters. So that means it's not quite enough to fill in this entire diameter because this is a 37 millimeter case with the 26.6 millimeter diameter. A total of about 10 millimeters in difference. That means the date aperture can't actually fit all the way to the end. It can't actually fill in that entire space there. That's basically as far as it goes. So that means that they need to fill in that tiny little bit of space with that three o'clock index hour marker. So that's why that's there. At least it's a really good reason as to why that's there. It has 40 jewels and has a total number of 280 parts all inside there. All of that bringing you a 60 hour power reserve. That basically means you can set this down for about two and a half days. You can pick it back up again later on a Monday morning, you can set down on Friday evening, pick it back up Monday morning, no need to wind the watch or if you really need to, you still can. All very good and well there. Now, taking a look at what we have here for the framing, we have what is known as the integrated bracelet, also pink gold to fit that of the case. Nice accent, continuation of that accent that high polish along the edge of the bracelet, along the edge of the case, continuing onto this bracelet. Very seamless in its overall appearance and feel. You can't really feel the edges here. It's so well engineered. Satin brush finishing along the front with a high polish in between these links here to give them sort of that glowing look. To further show you that these are indeed separate pieces all hand finished. Incredibly well done from Audemars Piguet. Going down to the clasp here, we have the double deployment clasp, meaning that you have two buttons. No way to undo this, unhinge it or unclasp it without pressing these two in simultaneously. You press them in and it releases. I'm trying to do this carefully. It releases and opens up with the double deployment system there, as you can see. And while we're here, I can actually try on the watch. Give you my thoughts as to how it wears. So when you have this on your wrist, let me just demonstrate here. You want to clasp the top portion first and then the bottom portion, which has the Audemars Piguet logo. The logo goes on top there. And now looking at it on the wrist. Very comfortable, extremely soft to the touch on the wrist. My wrist measures 18 centimeters or 7 inches in circumference. So currently as it is incredibly balanced in terms of its weight distribution here. The gold case with the counterbalance of the bracelet here just fits very nicely. Very perfect, perfectly centered center-of-balance there. At just under 10 millimeters in thickness, slides very easily under a jacket cuff, or even a suit cuff. So this doubles very well as a luxury as well as a dress or even sports watch should you desire to take this out on a jog or anything because the bracelet gives you the added benefit of extra breathability. All the spaces among these links makes it so that it wicks away sweat and lets your wrist breathe very easily. Much better than say the leather strap that I reviewed this model on earlier. If you get this with the bracelet, with this model, you get that added benefit of that breathability. So certainly a very good benefit there. And again, we have a very good overall form here on the wrist looking down. We have a little bit of space underneath the lugs here. If you have a wrist larger than mine, you probably won't have that much space under this lug. But the added space does give you more breathability under the wrist. No con there, all pros. Okay. And when it comes to the overall look and the overall appearance of this watch, the white dial, I'm going to call it a white dial even though they call it a, what is it? Silver nickel or grey nickel dial. It's a white dial. All right. The only other option you have is a black dial with this gold construction, but I much prefer this white dial. It just sort of shines forth much better. It doesn't sink or recess itself into the wrist as much. And you have more of that wrist presence in terms of the overall appearance, the aesthetics. Not so much the size because this is, again, a 37 millimeter watch. It wears a bit smaller than what you would expect. And you know, like I personally prefer 36 millimeter models but you know, at 37, I can forgive that extra millimeter because I do still get an excellent framing of the case from this bracelet. And overall, it just fits my wrist, at least a 7 inch wrist very nicely, very comfortably and overall a very good size. Okay. And again, the presentation here very easy to read with, it doesn't matter what you wear really. Anything light, this will blend in very nicely. If you wear anything dark with this, this will stand out handsomely. That's about all I have for you. Let us know what you think down in the comments below.
