The THB AP Audemars Piguet 15416 is a remarkable testament to the pinnacle of watchmaking excellence. Crafted from full ceramic, this watch boasts a design that is not only visually stunning but also promises to never fade while maintaining exceptional scratch resistance. The entire watch, including the strap and case, is made from high-strength ceramic, matching the original materials used by Audemars Piguet.
One of the most captivating features is the exposed balance wheel and bridge at the eight o’clock position. THB’s custom-made balance wheel, with its mesmerizing golden hue, showcases the intricate beauty of the mechanical movement, allowing onlookers to admire the precise motion of each gear. Furthermore, the meticulously polished gear bridges exemplify the unique craftsmanship that only high-end watchmaking can provide.
Inspired by the iconic Royal Oak design by master Gérald Genta, the watch features an integrated strap that offers superior comfort. The case thickness is strictly controlled, and the eight hexagonal screws secure the integrated case, minimizing the thickness of the case back, achieving an impressive 10.1mm thickness even with a transparent case back.
The new ceramic case eliminates the metal core to enhance texture, while the sides incorporate five hexagonal pushers that perfectly echo the octagonal case. The crown, made entirely from ceramic, features deeply engraved logos that ensure permanent color retention. The upgraded CNC three-dimensional engraving on the case back mirrors the original design, deepening the engraving and coding for a refined aesthetic.
The bezel, crafted from imported diamond sand, undergoes continuous polishing and brushing to enhance its delicacy, further elevating the overall texture. Meanwhile, the redesigned ceramic buckle logo is processed using three-dimensional engraving, offering a deeper and richer texture. The screws, made from 316L stainless steel, are polished and refined with deep thread designs to prevent loosening.
THB is dedicated to producing only the highest quality products, ensuring that each watch is a masterpiece in itself.
