Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26331BC Frosted-Gold
With over 250 years of history, Audemars Piguet is one of the brands with a rich tradition that continues to thrive. They have an incredibly impressive heritage and employ unique craftsmanship techniques. Among these, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26331BC Frosted-Gold Black Dial with a Frosted case is a special standout.
First, let’s explore what a Frosted case is. The name derives from the distinctive surface of the watch, resembling a frozen metal block. This process is carried out by manually hammering, using tens of thousands of strikes with a sharp tool onto the watch’s surface. Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice the watch’s surface features dimples that create beautiful light reflections.
Of course, with a Frosted case, the surface of the Audemars Piguet Replica 1:1 watch will no longer have the typical scratches we commonly see. However, the octagonal bezel is retained and secured by eight screws. The edges on the case are still polished in a traditional style, creating an interesting focal point on the watch.
Paired with the premium 41mm stainless steel case is the familiar Royal Oak bracelet, crafted from the same material. Similar to the case, the bracelet is finished by hammering and features polished edges. This bracelet is secured with a butterfly clasp that can be opened from both sides and is activated by a push-button.

On the right side of the watch, we have two additional push-buttons next to the time-setting crown. To enhance water resistance, the Chronograph push-button is reinforced with screws, and the time-setting crown is designed to screw into the case. Thanks to these features, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26331BC Replica watch can function reliably at depths of up to 50 meters.
The watch face retains the familiar Grande Tapisserie pattern, with three sub-dials to serve the Chronograph function. In this version, Audemars Piguet uses a more diverse color palette, including three shades of black and… The sub-dials are also finished with a distinct style, adding highlights to the Grande Tapisserie pattern.
Complementing these details are the hands and hour markers made of premium steel. The design of the hands and hour markers still maintains the familiar Royal Oak style, with baton shapes and rounded tips. Finally, at the 4 o’clock position, you’ll find a convenient date window, a feature commonly found on wristwatches.
