Artisans de Genève is not the only company creating personal interpretations of grail Swiss made replica watches from Rolex and Patek. Still, I feel that ADG deeply respects the clients’ base models while meticulously improving details. Adding interest and bespoke detailing to an already accomplished design is a delicate subject, but to me, Artisans de Genève is on the podium with the best. And this time, there’s big news in the form of the workshop’s first personalized UK best Audemars Piguet replica watches. Introducing the Cyano, a customized Royal Oak ref. 15500.

Having honed their skills on Submariners, Daytonas, and the odd Aquanaut, these artisans from Geneva have now dealt with the venerable high quality fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches. I’ve been to their atelier and had the chance to get some wrist time with a few pieces, and my impression is one of respect for their subjects and the formidable skills of their watchmakers. With last year’s neon-touched Daytona for Adam Levine, the bar was set pretty high in my book. Well, Mr. Bar, prepare to move a few notches up for the Cyano.

The backstory of the Artisans de Genève Cyano

There is much more to a watch from Artisans de Genève than meets the eye. And even if each intricate, hand-polished component speaks volumes, ADG’s approach to each personal subject is equally fascinating. We have to include the client when talking about Artisans de Genève’s first customized perfect Audemars Piguet replica watches, the Cyano. You see, ADG works under private commissions only, and each pièce unique is exactly that. Each one is based on dialogue and a studied approach. Mr. Cyrus Z is the instigator of Artisans de Genève’s first personalization of a Royal Oak, giving his 41mm ref. 15500 a new, skeletonized visage.

As a collector for 15 years, Mr. Z handed over his Audemars Piguet Royal Oak copy watches for men at an important stage in his life to celebrate the birth of his daughter and the role his father had played in his life and collecting journey. As Mr. Z so eloquently said, “Since she was born, I’ve realized just how much time eludes us and that it’s now my turn to pass on what I know, as my father did so admirably.” His thoughts are represented through an intricate take on the 4302 caliber’s skeletonization, done entirely by hand and framed within an outer chapter ring in sky blue.

A Royal Oak but not as we know it

The grail-worthy steel case and bracelet of the ref. 15500 have stayed as they were, providing a recognizable monochrome frame with a dark, octagonal difference. Replacing the well-known stainless steel bezel, here, we have the brutalist look of 26-ply forged carbon. This bezel’s two parts, including a Grade 5 titanium base, endow the case with a strong architectural quality for full water resistance. The marbled black color also creates a fantastic contrast to the icy-fresh and legible blue chapter ring. On this, we find a touch of red in the “Swiss Made” text along with recognizable but stubby luminous hour markers.

One of my favorite details is the inscribed “Audemars Piguet” plaque between 9 and 12 o’clock. This detail differs from cheap 2024 Audemars Piguet replica watches’ in-house skeletonized efforts, and perhaps it is an improvement. Overall, this sky-blue frame and the flame-blued hour markers present a bright contrast to the menacing bezel and the intricacies within. Matching the indices with are the well-known AP hands, thermally blued and donning a red tip on the center seconds hand.

A dial of open-worked delights

Without a dial as such for the 1:1 super clone watches, the Cyano it’s an honest and intricate celebration of the 4302 movement’s architecture. There is much to unpack here, with bridgework endowed with hand-pierced openings and anglage. Let’s take the balance bridge as an example if only to open your mind to the man-hours behind the craftsmanship. An integral part of the mainplate, this component is already complex in shape. Shaped from one block of hardened steel, it has been skeletonized, beveled, and rounded by hand. Have a closer look at this single part of the movement. It has been altered by a lone, patient, and skilled craftsman using a burin, a traditional jeweler’s tool.

Final thoughts on the Artisans de Genève Cyano

Skeletonization, along with customization, is an acquired taste. For me, though, both aspects only accentuate the evergreen nature of the Genta design. Look at every part of the movement, detailed to the best of the ADG’s abilities and, honestly, to a higher degree than the base caliber. That says a lot, and it shows. With each stroke of a tool in the hands of an ADG artisan, the microcosmos of the 4302 caliber has been accentuated, even improved upon. As with any ADG creation, the cost is between the client, Mr. Cyrus Z, and the small atelier on Rue Ferdinand-Hodler.

The Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet expands the UK top replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Openworked line watches (ref. 16204) with a new model in 18-carat yellow gold.

The bright case offers a graceful frame to the state-of-the-art movement, Calibre 7124, ticking within. Its fine openworked architecture, whose yellow-gold-toned hue matches that of the case and bracelet, takes centre stage on both sides of the perfect Swiss fake watches. Enhanced with subtle touches of white gold, this emblematic 39 emm timepiece provides elegant contrasts.

A refined, dazzling look

The high quality replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Openworked watches launched in 2022 on the occasion of the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary takes a fresh look this year with its elegant body of 18-carat yellow gold. Keeping with tradition, the 8.1mm-thick timepiece has retained the aesthetic codes of the original model from 1972. Its gold tapering bracelet and 39 mm case are finished with the Manufacture’s graceful alternation of satin brushing and polished chamfers for an infinite play on the light.

The inner bezel and the movement’s openworked bridges are adorned with a yellow-gold-toned hue matching with the case and bracelet. The dial is enriched with discreet polished white gold hour-markers and hands that recall the white gold hexagonal screws securing the bezel onto the case as well as the gear train seen through the movement’s openworked bridges. The movement’s jewels visible on the dial side add a touch of colour.

Lastly, the Audemars Piguet long-form signature has been printed in black on the sapphire crystal.

A cutting-edge openworked movement

The selfwinding extra-thin Calibre 7124 brings together precision, performance and age-old openworking expertise. This openworked hour and minute movement measuring a mere 2.7 mm in thickness has been specifically conceived and produced by Audemars Piguet engineers and watchmakers, in parallel of Calibre 7121, to fit in the extra-thin 8.1 mm “Jumbo” case without altering its aesthetic and thickness. It beats at a frequency of 4 Hz and has 57 hours of autonomy when not on the wrist. Its large barrel ensures accuracy for a longer period of time. In addition, it is equipped with a slim openworked oscillating weight in yellow-gold plated 22-carat pink gold, mounted on ball bearings that utilises two reversers developed in-house to ensure bidirectional winding. Lastly, inertia blocks have been inserted within the balance wheel to avoid unnecessary friction and enhance performance.

The openworked architecture of Calibre 7124 is highlighted on the dial and caseback sides. Its fine design was achieved by using advanced technology in conjunction with artisans’ manual dexterity and acute attention to detail. The position and geometries of each component were carefully thought of from the get-go to reach a harmonious and well-balanced openworked aesthetic. The preliminary geometries of the mainplate and bridges were cut through computer numerical control (CNC) machining before they were meticulously touched up to reach the desired shape. The different components were then finished with Haute Horlogerie decorations such as traits tirés, snailing and polished chamfers. The movement’s 247 polished V-shaped angles reflect the rigorous savoir-faire of the Manufacture’s artisans.

The “Jumbo” and the art of openworking

Evolving with each decade, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak collection copy watches wholesale has included more than 50 openworked models to date, fitted with different movements and coming in a variety of sizes, materials and styles – the result of numerous decades of passion and expertise passed down across generations.

While openworking made its debut in the Royal Oak collection in 1981 with a pendant version (Model 5710BA), it truly became part of the collection in the 1990s – a decade that witnessed a wide choice of openworked Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replica watches for men.

The first openworked “Jumbo” was launched in 1992. This one-of-a-kind model (14811), whose dial was decorated with a finely chased oak motif, was auctioned off to support the new Audemars Piguet Foundation. Several openworked “Jumbo” models equipped with the extra-thin Calibre 2120 were introduced in very small series until the year 2000. While some cheap fake watches were graced with gemset hands (e.g. 14789, 14793 and 14814), others featured highly stylised designs, such as Models 14884 and 12518 (a unique 125th anniversary creation) which included a naval anchor against a background of stormy waves surrounded by ropes.

Openworking returned in the “Jumbo” collection in 2010 with a stainless steel model (15305), this time equipped with selfwinding Calibre 3129 measuring 4.31 mm in thickness. Two years later, the Manufacture launched a new slate grey openworked “Jumbo” limited edition for the Royal Oak’s 40th anniversary, powered by the new Calibre 5122 which was framed in a 950 platinum case. An 18-carat pink gold version was released in 2014.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Openworked super clone watches shop made its come back in 2022 for the collection’s 50th anniversary. For the occasion, the Manufacture launched two models offered in a choice of stainless steel and 18-carat pink gold, both equipped with the Manufacture’s brand-new selfwinding openworked movement, the Calibre 7124. The yellow gold replica watches released this year follows in their footsteps with its refined golden aesthetic merging ancestral know-how and cutting-edge techniques.
