The Openworked Royal Oak (reference 15305) was introduced at SIHH 2010 but really only began hitting stores in the past few months. The watch is absolutely awesome, and from we we hear, is next fake Audemars Piguet to impossible to find. At roughly $30,000, we view the Openworked RO as the first of two “entry level” haute horology products from AP – the other being the new Millenary 4101 that Ben raved about after SIHH.
What makes this watch so interesting is its youthful, industrial tone. Many skeletonized watches can take on an ornate, almost formal look, but this Royal Oak avoids that, to its credit. The caliber 3129, which is the openworked version of AP’s in-house 3120 found in the traditional ref 15300 RO, is really something you need to fake rolex see in the flesh to appreciate, though we’ve done our best here with live pictures and HD video.
Also, being based on the 3120 movement and not the 2120, this skeleton is a bit thicker and sturdier than previous openworked Royal Oaks. This beefier stature plus a screw down crown mean one could wear the 15305 and not have to baby it at all. In fact, this watch holds the exact same dimensions as the normal 15300.
The Openworked Royal Oak is currently available through Audemars Piguet boutiques and AD’s, though we’ve heard they are very hard to come by. The MSRP is slightly above $30,000 in steel and more details may be found here.
