Royal Oak Openworked Extra-Thin pink gold
One of Audemars Piguet's newest watches from SIHH 2014 that we have not discussed much is the Royal Oak Openworked Extra-Thin in 18-carat pink gold. I was fortunate enough to handle this new Royal Oak recently and it is astounding. Let's have a closer loo...
Great Review and Pics..
Like yourself I also love this watch, its so elegant and well finished. S
I stil have the stainless steel former model, and prefer its 40 mm case.
But I agree that a skeleton Royal Oak is something to see! Thanks for the nice report, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Part of what is so alluring to me
is the openworked movement inside the case I am so familiar with.
Yes, I listed this above in my reply.

Thoughts on AP skeleton watches...

My pleasure to share.
I was fortunate enough to see it in person and wanted to share my thoughts with everyone here.
Wonderful sharing, Michael...
" and if I can ever afford it, I will own this watch." My exact sentiment :) Thanks for this post!

Great review and pics
Great review and pics of the openworked extra-thin. Looks great in pink gold. You bring up an interesting point about the skeletonized work and how it is not as see-through as other versions. I can't wait to see this one hopefully soon. Regards, ED-209
It might be a minor detail for most.
But for me, I prefer not to see much of my wrist through the watch. Thanks for reading the article ED209!
