The APS new arrival, the Audemars Piguet 15500 in full ceramic, sets a new benchmark in modern haute horlogerie. By blending ceramic materials with the intricate cal.4302 movement, it exemplifies both craftsmanship and innovation. This watch not only continues the classic aesthetics of the Royal Oak but also breaks the boundaries of traditional materials.

The ceramic advantage is undeniable. With high hardness and scratch resistance, the precision ceramic such as zirconia far surpasses stainless steel, maintaining its luster over time. The lightweight nature of ceramic also enhances comfort, making it ideal for prolonged wear. Additionally, its chemical stability reduces the risk of skin sensitivity and offers resistance against corrosion and sweat. The collection is available in three distinct colors: black, white, and a rare blue, each offering a unique texture achieved through detailed polishing or matte processing.

The design of the case and bracelet is seamless, maintaining the iconic octagonal bezel and “Tapisserie” patterned dial of the Royal Oak while infusing it with a modern feel through ceramic. The manufacturing process involves complex ceramic sintering, which requires precise control over temperature and pressure, illustrating APS’s technical prowess despite the low yield. Attention to detail is paramount, with chamfered and polished watch strap links that smoothly fit the wrist. The case is approximately 10.5mm thick, balancing intricate craftsmanship and wearing comfort.

APS produces only the finest, and this is evident in every aspect of the Audemars Piguet 15500 ceramic collection.
