The blue glow-in-the-dark fibres of the new CFT carbon echo the luminescent hour-markers and hands.
The new 43 mm Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Large Date model premiers the use of an innovative coloured forged carbon.
Combining watchmaking complexity with ultra-contemporary design, this timepiece embodies the constant quest for innovation that has driven Audemars Piguet since its inception.
Created in Audemars Piguet’s R&D workshops using the Chroma Forged Technology (CFT), this innovative deep black material offers a new aesthetic with subtle touches of colour. This non-porous CFT carbon also provides unprecedented resistance to humidity, heat and shocks. The ultra-light forged carbon case middle of this new Royal Oak Concept, which features blue luminescent pigments, is complemented by a black ceramic bezel, crown, push-pieces and caseback. The two-tone timepiece is enhanced by a dark architectural dial with electric blue accents.
This timepiece houses the selfwinding Calibre 4407, a feat of mechanical and industrial engineering that combines flyback chronograph, split-seconds, GMT and a large date. Despite its horological complexity, this movement has been designed to marry ergonomics and simplicity of use.
Audemars Piguet was the first brand to introduce forged carbon to watchmaking in 2007. After five years of research and development, we are proud to present a brand-new generation of forged carbon, which can be coloured while retaining its excellent mechanical properties.
