The celebration of the 50th anniversary of Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak brings us the awe-inspiring 15510ST collection. This new model makes a bold move by replacing the iconic ‘AP’ logo with a fully spelled-out ‘Audemars Piguet,’ using the CODE 1159 craftsmanship for a three-dimensional gold emblem.

The automatic rotor of the watch’s movement has been updated from the AP golden rotor to a more classic silver one, marked with the number 50, resonating with a vintage flair. Its heart, the 4302 integrated movement, paired with the latest 50th-anniversary rotor, showcases its prowess in the realm of steel watches, asserting its ‘steel king’ title.

Let’s dive into the six standout features: First, the watch maintains the original dimensions of 41×10.4mm, true to the genuine model. Secondly, the attention to detail in replicating the watch case leaves no room for doubt, radiating a robust and masculine appeal. Third, the craftsmanship of the steel bracelet is unparalleled, surpassing any other on the market, with the same tension in the ‘buffering area’ between the bracelet head and case as the original.

Fourth, the CAL.4302 integrated movement offers an impressive 72-hour power reserve, delivering excellent stability and authenticity. Fifth, the dial features a vibrant, fully-fledged ‘biscuit texture’ that stands in stark contrast to the rather lifeless versions from lesser-known manufacturers, offering a unique and exquisite experience.

Finally, the anti-reflective sapphire crystal showcases an elegant blue hue under certain lighting, enhancing its visual clarity and charm. As expected from APW, quality is never in question!
