AnthonyTsai announces the release of the Audemars Piguet Limited Edition Leo Messi Royal Oak Chronograph, a collection that marks a distinctive collaboration. His post highlights the unique design elements, material choices, and limited production numbers of these highly anticipated timepieces. This detailed overview provides collectors with essential information about the various iterations of this special edition.
Audemars Piguet is pleased to announce the release of the limited edition Leo Messi Royal Oak Chronograph.
Presented as a limited series of only 1000 pieces (in steel/tantalum, pink gold/tantalum and platinum/tantalum), the Limited Edition Leo Messi Royal Oak is distinctive on every front. With a 41 mm diameter, it offers a stylish and modern face. In addition, the limited series is graced with an alligator strap – and with an additional sportier rubber strap – to replace the traditional steel bracelet. The Leo Messi Royal Oak's pure and elegant dial does not repeat the "tapisserie" motif that was the Royal Oak's trademark. The dial is vertically brushed anthracite with hour markers in white gold for the steel version and pink gold for the pink gold version, while the platinum version sports a deep blue dial with white gold hour markers. For all versions, the three auxiliary chronograph counters and the small seconds counter are encircled by a finely brushed silvered ring.
Retaining the collection's eight hexagonal screws in polished white gold, the bezel of the Limited Edition Leo Messi Royal Oak and the fastening links of the strap are in tantalum, giving off subtle glints of blue and grey. The uniqueness of these sublime colour effects governed the choice of tantalum , a material with very strong resistance to corrosion and high density – about twice as heavy as steel – that is particularly difficult to machine and polish.
The Leo Messi Royal Oak is offered in a limited series of 1000 pieces : 500 in steel/tantalum, 400 in pink gold/tantalum and 100 in platinum/tantalum. Each watch is delivered in an original case in the shape of a lacquered shoe box decorated on the inside with the player's dedication.
This Royal Oak chronograph houses the self-winding mechanical calibre 2385 which offers hours, minutes, small seconds, date and chronograph functions. Made up of 304 components, the movement has a 40-hour power reserve and beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz). It is fitted with a single-block 18 ct gold oscillating weight.
