Audemars Piguet Premieres New Royal Oak Concept Piece In Forged Carbon

Audemars Piguet has unveiled the latest addition to its prestigious Royal Oak Concept collection, introducing a high-tech marvel: the Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Large Date. This 43 mm timepiece is a stunning showcase of both innovation and craftsmanship, featuring a ground-breaking material that reshapes luxury watchmaking.

At the heart of the new design is the brand's patented Chroma Forged Technology (CFT), which has given birth to a striking black forged carbon case middle infused with blue luminescent pigments. Developed in Audemars Piguet’s R&D workshops over five years, this lightweight, non-porous carbon is resistant to humidity, heat, and shocks. Complemented by a sleek black ceramic bezel and push-pieces, the watch embodies both elegance and cutting-edge engineering.

Beneath its electric blue accents and dark architectural dial lies the powerful Calibre 4407, a self-winding movement designed for precision and ease of use. This movement combines advanced functions like the flyback chronograph, split-seconds chronograph, GMT, and large date display—all in one.

Presented at an exclusive event in Singapore, the watch’s debut attracted global attention, making it a must-have piece for collectors. The Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Large Date is priced at $206,800 USD, solidifying its place as a future icon in haute horlogerie.
