Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Lady Replica Review
When people talk about icons of the watch world, Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak is always the leader. This is a design classic that was created in 1972 by Gerald Genta, a Swiss watch designer of incredible pedigree who was also behind such instantly recognisable timepieces as Omega's Constellation, IWC Ingenieur and Patek Philippe's Nautilius.
For starters, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon replica was a watch made from steel. Audemars Piguet and Genta had taken a massive risk, but one that ultimately paid off. The price of the Royal Oak Lady Replica was equivalent to a watch made in gold but it proved to the watch industry that you could make something precious without using precious metal.
Now let's go into the detail of this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Replica.
At first glance
It is unmistakable. There is the strongbox case, the octagonal bezel, which is inspired by a ship's cannon scuttles – or porthole to us non-maritime types That is secured by eight visible hexagonal screws and the Grande Tapisserie motif on the dial. This is a cult attractive watch design at its best.
On the wrist
The incredibly complex construction of the bracelet means that this is one cheap but good quality watch that won't also double as an epilator. The white dial gives the fake watch a less unrelenting look on the wrist than its case dimensions would have you believe – it's a rather big fellow, clocking in as it does at 41mm. The overall look is sporty, this isn't something to wear with an LBD, but it does have an elegance to it, something that feels reminiscent of the sophisticated thuggery of Daniel Craig's Bond.
Up close and personal
This is not a simple Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chrono replica watch for those wanting something ultra feminine. It is a substantial piece with strong lines and a no-nonsense feel to it. That said, if it's diamonds you're after, the Royal Oak does come in a fully iced version if you have a few hundred thousand lying around.It has a 40-hour power reserve and the sub-dials are a small seconds at six o'clock, 30-minute counter at three and 12-hour indicator at nine.
