Last July, Hofland joined the very talented Audemars Piguet “Golf Dream Team.” But being on the AP team doesn’t stop him from wearing a very special outfit! Audemars Piguet has been an important part of golf for many years, cooperating with some celebrities in the golf industry. Since 1972, the Royal Oak has been the crown jewel in the Audemars Piguet series. Audemars Piguet’s Openworked is its hollow dial, where you can see the movement. AP has been making Openworked models since 2010, and this version has been making since 2016.
The first thing you notice on this Royal Oak is the view of the exquisite movement that replaces the traditional dial. The 3132 movement is manufactured in-house by AP and contains 245 parts. Almost all the slate gray, silver and rose gold parts of the 3132 are finished by hand. Another important feature of 3132 is the double balance wheel and double balance spring. By reducing the force acting on the side of the jewelry, the two resist each other to adjust themselves. https://www.bagsbagu.com
The case of Viktor’s Royal Oak is 41 mm, made of stainless steel, but it is also very thin, less than 10 mm. The frame is of course the iconic Audemars Piguet octagonal shape, fixed by 8 hex screws. There is a display window on the back of the case, you can watch the back of the 3132 and its rose gold self-winding rotor.
The display window is made of the same material as the sapphire crystal used on the front of the watch. The openwork dial is surrounded by rose gold hour markers. The hour, minute and second hands are all equipped with luminous materials, which can be read in low light. The Royal Oak bracelet is made of stainless steel and is equipped with a folding clasp with AP logo. This watch is also available in an all pink gold version.
