It is paired with an integrated rubber strap, ensuring comfort and reinforcing its sportive, resilient character.

A Dial of Legendary Design

Protected by a glareproofed sapphire crystal, the legendary “Petite Tapisserie” dial comes alive in mesmerizing green, providing a perfect canvas for the luminescent white gold applied hour-markers and Royal Oak hands. The chronograph sub-dials at 12, 6, and 9 o’clock offer stark contrast and legibility, while the date window at 3 o’clock completes its practical functionality. This harmonious interplay of texture, color, and function is a testament to AP’s unwavering commitment to balanced, impactful design.
