The new APS 15500 all-ceramic model has made a stunning entry, redefining the standards of luxury watchmaking with its unique blend of ceramic material and the sophisticated cal.4302 integrated movement. This watch not only upholds the classic aesthetics of the Royal Oak but also pushes the boundaries of traditional materials, establishing itself as a modern icon.

Ceramic offers a plethora of advantages: it boasts high hardness and scratch resistance, thanks to its zirconia composition, making it far superior to stainless steel in terms of durability and maintaining a long-lasting sheen. Its lightweight nature ensures comfortable wear over extended periods, reducing wrist fatigue compared to metal counterparts. Additionally, ceramic’s chemically stable properties make it hypoallergenic and resistant to sweat and corrosion.

The watch’s surface features a refined polish or matte finish, available in three stunning colors: black, white, and a rare blue. This unique texture adds a deep luster or a subtle elegance to the timepiece, enhancing its allure.

The design of the APS case and bracelet showcases a seamless integration, continuing the iconic octagonal bezel and ‘Tapisserie’ pattern dial of the Royal Oak, now with a modern twist thanks to the ceramic material. The intricate process of ceramic sintering involves precise control of temperature and pressure, highlighting APS’s technical prowess and resulting in a low yield. The bracelet links are finely polished with softened edges, ensuring comfort and a perfect fit on the wrist. Despite its complex craftsmanship, the case maintains a thickness of about 10.5 millimeters, balancing both elegance and wearability.

APS stands for excellence, offering only the finest in luxury timepieces, making the 15500 all-ceramic model a must-have for discerning collectors and enthusiasts.
