One might venture to suggest that the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in Black Ceramic possesses all the quiet dignity of a gentleman's evening dress, yet with considerably more mechanical complexity. This particular specimen, adorned with a Double Balance Wheel and Openworked dial, presents itself rather like a well-appointed drawing room where one might observe the curious dance of horological engineering through the windows of its transparent face.

What sets this Royal Oak apart from its more conventional cousins is not merely its striking black ceramic constitution, but rather its peculiar habit of displaying its inner workings with the sort of theatrical flair typically reserved for street performers. The Double Balance Wheel mechanism performs its mechanical ballet with the precision of a Swiss timekeeper and the elegance of a Viennese waltz.

FAQ

  1. What is special about the double balance-wheel mechanism?
    The second balance wheel improves stability and rate consistency by distributing energy more evenly between two regulating organs.
  2. Why did AP choose black ceramic for this Royal Oak?
    Black ceramic offers superior scratch resistance, a lightweight yet strong feel, and a striking modern aesthetic.
  3. Is the skeletonised dial difficult to read?
    No — despite the openworked design, the hour markers and hands are clearly visible and provide good legibility.
  4. How comfortable is the black ceramic bracelet?
    The integrated ceramic bracelet combines rigidity with a surprisingly comfortable fit, and the folding clasp secures it firmly on the wrist.
  5. Is the ceramic case fragile?
    While very hard and scratch-resistant, ceramic can be brittle under sharp impact. It’s built to withstand daily wear, but care is recommended.
  6. How does the watch perform in everyday use?
    The double balance-wheel movement increases precision, and the robust ceramic construction makes it practical for regular wear.
  7. Is servicing this model complicated?
    Yes — the openworked movement and ceramic case require specialist service from Audemars Piguet-authorized centres to preserve both performance and material integrity.
