Luxury Replica Audemars Piguet CA and Matthew Williams test the limits of minimalism

What makes a dial? If the five new timepieces by perfect replica Audemars Piguet are anything to go by, not much at all.

On a 37mm 1:1 fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding in 18-carat yellow gold, the hour and minute markers are nowhere to be seen; neither is the date aperture. Without the indices, just three gold hands remain to share the burden of time-telling. The other two features on the dial are purely aesthetic additions—signatures at 12 and six o’clock reading ‘Audemars Piguet’ and ‘1017 Alyx 9SM’ respectively.

The latter signature indicates the origin of this new collection. Born out of a collaboration with Matthew Williams, the founder and designer of independent fashion label 1017 Alyx 9SM, the complete lineup comprises two Royal Oaks, two luxury replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshores and a unique Royal Oak piece that was auctioned for charity during the collection’s launch party in Tokyo in August.

Even the brand’s iconic tapissserie dial design has been sacrificed in the name of minimalism (purists, do stay calm). In its place is a vertical satin finishing that CEO François-Henry Bennahmias has revealed took nine runs—instead of the usual two— to perfect. It’s a necessary effort on an uncluttered dial, where the finishing of the gold becomes the focal point.

This isn’t the first time Williams has put his own spin on Swiss movement replica Audemars Piguet’s timepieces. His first attempt was with his personal piece, a vintage Royal Oak that he sent to watch customisation studio Mad Paris to turn completely black. “I wanted a black one,” he says simply. “It was something I wanted to see exist.” Eventually, he started offering blackened high quality fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oaks at Alyx. It caught the attention of Bennahmias, who approached him to initiate the current partnership.

Describing his designs for this collection as ”a continuation of the watches I originally made for Alyx”, Williams explains his pared-back approach. “When touching an iconic silhouette like these watches, it’s really challenging to do something that’s timeless and timely. I handled it with a lot of respect and care. The subtle alterations to the top quality fake Audemars Piguet watches CA were more about playing with light and celebrating their form and shape through brushing the metal in different ways, through matte or shine.”

Light, in turn, appeals to him because “it’s infinite and understandable. It doesn’t need words; it’s more a feeling. It’s something I naturally want to play with.” Even the blackened timepieces he originally made were a manifestation of this instinct.

Beating within the aforementioned Swiss movement replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding is Calibre 5909. Introduced in 2022, the movement is just four millimetres thick and gives the timepiece a power reserve of 60 hours. The second Royal Oak piece is a 41mm Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph in 18-carat yellow gold. It houses Calibre 4409 without a date indication and has a power reserve of 70 hours.

The two high end fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore models are both 42mm Selfwinding Chronographs, one in 18-carat white gold and the other in 18-carat yellow gold. Equipped with Calibre 4404, they come with an interchangeable black rubber strap and a power reserve of 70 hours. All four replica watches for sale feature a 22-carat yellow or white gold oscillating weight specially developed for the collection, which is engraved with the 1017 Alyx 9SM signature.

The unique piece is a 41mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak fake for men with a two-tone case and bracelet in 18-carat yellow gold and stainless steel. Powered by Calibre 4409, its gold dial is coated in black PVD with a vertical satin finishing—a nod to the blackened watches Williams used to make.

The minimalist dial feels even more austere in the chronographs; Williams and the Audemars Piguet replica for sale CA team made the polarising decision to remove the chronograph counters, so that the only indication of the complication are three miniature hands ‘floating’ at six, nine and 12 o’clock.

A 37mm CA Perfect Fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak With Turquoise Dial Hits All The Right Notes For Our Style Editor

Stone dials are about as 1970s as you can get. And as a self-professed 1970s nostalgia freak, theoretically, this means I should be uncompromisingly devoted to the relatively recently-released 37mm turquoise dial Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replica for sale.

Sure, part of me is enamored. But I have some housekeeping/general observations before I run through an 800-word love letter to this cheap fake Audemars Piguet CA.

Firstly, I have noticed that stone dials are weirdly a political unifier amongst watch enthusiasts – a unique middle ground for men and women to confer without some uncalled-for battle of the sexes debate/discourse. We can all admire a pretty stone (and lord knows I do). It’s as if these high quality super clone watches are akin to souvenirs from a years-past trip to the Natural History Museum – the London one – duh – with a parent. Or a forgotten lesson in elementary school, where everybody got to pass around little lumps of quartz, tiger’s eye, aventurine, obsidian, etc., in the hopes of learning the basics of mineral science. I don’t know if this is a hot take, but stone dials, unlike gemstones, are neutral territory. They are decorative, they are not for everybody, but they are seemingly far from polarizing.

Stone dials are more quirky than gem-setting on luxury replica Audemars Piguet watches. Stone dials are earthy and bohemian. They loosely signify hippie culture (a culture which has been fetishized and annihilated to such a degree that I’m not sure this point remains relevant anymore but let’s stick with it for now as I take us back to the 1970s). This is hippie culture in the most surface sense; less revolutionary dropouts from Haight-Ashbury make it to communal life in rural America and more holding multiple minerals in each hand as you make a journey across the PCH to the Esalen Institute.

And, as we know, aaa quality fake watches are often a reflection of the broader zeitgeist – the cultural climate being referenced here is our modern-day obsession with mid-century style: fashion, furniture, art… and copy watches. As tempting as it is for me to fall into my usual bourgeois bohemian fantasy about Loulou de Falaise wearing flowy Yves Saint Laurent caftans, armfuls of wooden bangles, and strand upon strand of semi-precious stone beads, I am not her, and it is 2023, not 1973. So I’ll channel my fantasy into something like a modern stone dial watch (and maybe throw on a single string of coral beads for good measure, because why not).

But here’s the really tricky part. Because as much as I want to put on the turquoise dial Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replica online and slip into 1970s Saint Laurent muse cosplay, stone dials actually turn my levels of discernment up by about 10 notches. There is a lot more to these dials than just a pretty or unusual color and texture. The lapidary has to be immaculate in order for the dial to look refined, evenly saturated in color with just the right amount of flaws, and balanced in relation to its case and bracelet. This particular turquoise dial copy Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, like others in its category, comes with a healthy price tag ($61,000 to be precise) – so I do not take the quality of the stone or cutting technique lightly.

And while this Swiss movement fake Audemars Piguet CA did pass the stop-everything-you-are-doing-and-revel-in-the-beauty-of-this-watch-on-social-media test when it came out in February of this year, seeing lapidary up close is very different. It’s hard to pass judgment when you cannot see every single dial in the full run. They will all be cut differently, the veins in the Mexican turquoise will all form different patterns – it’s the luck of the draw.

The most striking quality, aside from the obvious best quality replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak design and perfect metalwork, is the contrast in color between the 18k yellow gold and bright turquoise stone. Gold and blue is a perfect combination in my mind; very Mediterranean, very regal, very pharaohs in Egypt, but also very ’70s. This is not Tiffany blue; it’s a different thing. The only point of comparison I would maybe deem acceptable is the modern Rolex Day-Date with its own turquoise dial (not for me, though, thanks).

The simplicity and size of this watch work harmoniously. It would have been interesting to see this without the date window and seconds hand, maybe even without applied hour markers for a super clean and less watchy look, but for now, I’ll take her as she is.

At 37mm x 9.3mm, it’s relatively compact – but cheap fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oaks fit larger than most, so if you’ve never tried one on before, know that this usually tends to wear like a 39mm (they made me say this). The watch comes equipped with a self-winding Caliber 5900, which displays hours, minutes, center seconds, and date. And has a power reserve of 60 hours and water resistance of 50m.

I will not be blindly brainwashed into liking anything. Certainly not when the product in question is a true Venn diagram of all my watch interests: yellow gold, 1970s, and colorful stones. Swiss made replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak or not, this yellow gold, turquoise dial watch hit all the notes I was after. You know it’s love when there are over 50 pictures in the camera roll. Now make her in 34mm, and you might have yourself a customer (insert joke about waiting list here).

CA Swiss Made Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Replica Watches

Over the last year or so, we have been talking to our female colleagues, brand friends, watch lovers, and more, about what they want from a fake watch media. This all started with research for our print magazine Lady by GMT, but is now encompassing WorldTempus too. The results of our research have not only been interesting, but eye-opening too. One of the points that frequently comes up is that female watch lovers don’t necessarily want to see tall skinny girls wearing luxury replica watches; they want to see real-life women in all their shapes, sizes and colours with watches on. They want to be able to associate with these women and see how great super clone watches look on them.
