Royal Oak Nick Faldo Limited Edition ref. 15097OR.OO.0789OR.01
Like the Yves Klein Perpetual Calendar, this Nick Faldo Limited Edition is another example with desirable design deviations. It is definitely not your typical 1:1 fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, and I am definitely a sucker for 36mm Royal Oak models – as they are the perfect size for my wrist. The central medallion of the dial features the familiar tappisserie pattern, but you then step up to a radially brushed hours/minutes chapter ring. It is not a deviation for deviation’s sake.
Swiss replica Audemars Piguet CA cleverly incorporated a subtle golf-ball motif, the tapisserie-patterned circular central medallion reflecting Faldo’s professional sport. The competing textures, as well as the small step, creates added depth, resulting in an intriguing aesthetic for those who are not restricted by the purity of Genta originality. Its light grey dial pairs really well against the warmth of the rose gold baton hands, applied indices, central hands, logo, and case. As a limited edition of 375 pieces, it is rarer than your average super clone Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Yet, due to its individuality, it stands to be a bargain lot for the winning bidder.
Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie ref. 26591TI
The minute repeater complication is by far my favourite, the musicality of the chimes makes me think of the glockenspiel clocks of Germany where my grandmother was born. So, to have what I declare as the world’s greatest complication, inside of one of the greatest copy watch designs of all time, is incredibly desirable.
This 42mm x 14mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replica for sale is cased in lightweight titanium, so it can be worn daily, and its chimes are incredibly crisp and loud thanks to the Supersonnerie membrane caseback that amplifies the acoustics of the complication. The dark blue fume tapisserie dial is very eye-catching, and a fun twist to the dateless dial is its sub-seconds register at 6′ instead of a central seconds hand. Inside, is the manually wound caliber 2953 that has a weekend-proof power reserve of up to 72 hours – assuming you don’t pull the slide every other minute. To top it all off, only five high quality fake watches were ever made – so it is incredibly, incredibly, rare
