Selfwinding RoyalOak 41 Designed for the woman who understands the value of time T he Royal Oak 41 mm is a watch for women who appreciate the contrast of an iconic, legendary sportswatch adorned with a scintillating mantle of diamonds. Framed in a sensuous pink gold case, this breathtaking timepiece is masterfully gem- set with 166 diamonds. An elegant blend of the timeless and daring, the Selfwinding Royal Oak features a distinctive octagonal bezel, held in place by its hallmark hexagonal headed screws, spotlighted by a series of brilliant-cut diamonds expertly set between each screw. The integrated lugs that soften the geometry of the case have also been set alight with diamonds of differing sizes, as has the folding clasp. In all, 511 grade IF diamonds (4.16 carats) decorate the external surfaces. The diamond pavé dial continues the opulent theme and has been set with 345 diamonds (1.07 carats) arranged in a circular pattern, interrupted at 3 o’clock to accommodate the date window. The hands, treated with a luminescent coating for maximum legibility, circle the dial with its applied pink gold hour markers and minute indices. As beautiful within as without, a proprietary self-winding manufacture movement – calibre 3120 – powers the hours, minutes, central seconds and date functions. Designed for women who appreciate the value of time – and the time invested in the craftsmanship of the watch – the transparent sapphire crystal case back allows for a full view of the automatic movement with its gold 22- carat axe-shaped rotor. The choice of strap, crafted from grey alligator leather, provides a striking contrast to the pink gold case and gives the watch a unique metallic feel, very in vogue this year. A robust yet glittering showstopper, the Selfwinding Royal Oak is a paradox – like the woman who wears it. 1 0 4 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
