After the success of the ladies' version, presented exactly one year ago, Audemars Piguet surprises gentlemen with a limited edition of 200 of the Royal Oak Frosted Gold. The case and bracelet are once again illuminated, thanks to the hammering of the gold carried out with a diamond-tipped instrument that helps to create tiny surface grooves with a result similar in appearance to diamond dust. This is the ancient Florentine technique of diamond polishing, which is mainly used for small pieces of jewellery. It costs 56,800 euros and is made in a limited edition of 200 pieces.
