Description
Audemars Piguet unveils a new ceramic shade inspired by the iconic “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” colour developed in 1972 to adorn the dial of the first Royal Oak (Model 5402). Drawing its distinctive radiance from the night sky of the Vallée de Joux – a source of creativity for generations of watchmakers – this deep blue hue developed over several years, achieves the challenge of maintaining a uniform colour throughout all watch components. this novetly showcases the Manufacture’s relentless quest for innovation in terms of design and materials, in tribute to the region of Le Brassus where Audemars Piguet was founded 150 years ago.
