Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off Shore Grand Prix Platinum / Forged Carbon. Contre nature?

A 256 grams beast.
Isn't there a bot of a contradiction to use light material such as carbon with a heavy platinum case? Wouldn't it be better to use titanium, for example?
Best,
Nicolas

I hadn’t seen this reference before in any posts. What I am appreciating more about AP is their expertise with materials to model beautiful pieces. My understanding and experience are limited, but besides AP and Bvlgari, there isn’t another brand that man...
LOL!

I think the original intention and design was excellent - but there was room for improvement for the material. Maybe it paved the way for the use of Carbon TPT and other novel materials. One day maybe they can make a self-healing version? Cheers Peter
