Audemars Piguet is going to unveil the new Royal Oak watch at the SIHH in Geneva, Switzerland, from January 18 to January 22, 2016.
Audemars Piguet is getting back to basics by reviving the traditional precious metal used in the watch industry and launching its Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar watch. 
Audemars Piguet’s iconic Royal Oak watch was made available in stainless steel that was worked and polished like a precious metal—a revolution in the watchmaking industry. Audemars Piguet is moving in a new direction for 2016 with the launch of a brand new model made of yellow gold.
This timepiece, which has an 18 carat yellow gold case, features a blue dial with a “Grande Tapisserie” pattern of three dimensional squares. It displays the perpetual calendar subdials with month, hour, minute, and date indicators at three o’clock, the day at nine o’clock, the month and leap year at midday, and the moon phase at six o’clock. The weeks of the year are marked on the rotating internal bezel.
On the dial, the applied hour markers and Royal Oak hands are in yellow gold, with a luminescent coating for better readability in the dark. The bracelet is also in 18 carat yellow gold with an Audemars Piguet folding clasp.
