WATCHMAKER｜Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Carolina Bucci Limited Edition: Iridescent Blue Sapphire Checkered Craftsmanship

To achieve this shimmering checkerboard effect on the 34mm Royal Oak Selfwinding Carolina Bucci Limited Edition, the sapphire crystal dial is micro-structured with tiny squares, reinterpreting the watch’s iconic motif in contrasting materials. The mirror-like finish is created by metallizing the back of the sapphire crystal, enhancing reflections and color play. This iridescent pattern varies from dial to dial, making each design unique. The Audemars Piguet logo is subtly applied in white transfer, allowing the shifting hues to take center stage. Luminescent pink gold hands indicate hours, minutes, and seconds, while pink gold hour markers echo the eight screws of the legendary octagonal bezel.
