Royal Oak dial colors and tapisserie or hobnail dials
Another highlight of all replica luxury watches Royal Oak models is the so-called guilloché dial, which features a unique waffle design called a “tapisserie”. Guilloché is the name of the gobo-grid effect, a metal engraving technique dating back to the late 18th century. The patterned grid used by AP on the Royal Oak dial is known in the industry as the Clous de Paris, or "shoe spikes" - a series of miniature raised pyramids that are an essential part of the Royal Oak's DNA.
The Royal Oak model comes with patterns in three different sizes: the largest "Méga Tapisserie", the medium "Grande Tapisserie" and the original model's standard "Petite Tapisserie". Not all models in the collection have this effect, such as the Royal Oak "Jumbo" ultra-thin watch, which has a smoked sun pattern dial.
As far as dial colors go, the most popular is the traditional blue on the original, which the AP calls the Bleu Nuit (Blue Night) dial. There are plenty of other colors to choose from, but black, white, gold, and light gray are popular. Also look out for the striking Electric Blue, or Ultramarine Blue, known by its nickname Yves Klein—named after the French artist who created International Klein Blue (IKB).replica watches for sale
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak: The Ultimate Sports Watch
The Royal Oak is classified as a luxury sports watch - a category the brand created back in '72 when it released the original. The first generation Royal Oak (model 15202ST) had a slim 39mm case, which would be known today as a vintage size, but they have since expanded the range with 42mm cases (2012) and more recently (2022 ) in a smaller 37mm case. The Royal Oak Chronograph comes in two sizes, the 38mm and the larger 41mm.
There are also Royal Oak models for slender women's wrists, with case sizes between 33mm and 37mm, as well as top-of-the-line flying tourbillon, perpetual calendar and grand complication watches. In terms of materials, all models in the Royal Oak series are made of a variety of precious metals, including:
Stainless steel titanium platinum Rose gold ceramics carbon

The Panda Dial Royal Oak Chronograph (Ref. 26331st.OO.1220st.03) in stainless steel is another big seller, which is understandable since chronographs are one of the most popular designs on the market today.
Now let's take a look at the other two models in the series, Royal Oak Offshore and Royal Oak Offshore Diver.
Royal Oak Offshore: Stronger, sportier model
The Royal Oak Offshore was released in 1993 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the original AP. This is a sturdier, sportier version of the original, a chronograph water-resistant to 100 meters. In addition to a slightly different case design, it also protects the recessed winder.
Royal Oak Offshore Diver The Royal Oak Offshore Diver is a no-nonsense dive watch, capable of diving down to 300 metres. This is a decidedly solid business mens replica watch, with a 42mm diameter case that is 14mm deep on the wrist. Unique features include a unidirectional, rotatable inner bezel operated by a second screw-down crown at 10 o'clock. A true dive watch, this model comes with a rubber strap and comes in a variety of color combinations including yellow, orange, blue, green and even purple! AP also released the Offshore Diver Chronograph model in 2016.
What is the difference between Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore? There are some major differences between Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak collection and the newer Royal Oak Offshore. The Offshore has a more robust, sporty industrial design aimed directly at a younger audience - with a larger 42mm case size and chronograph movement. The side-by-side Royal Oak is sleeker and less overtly sporty.
Who wears AP's Royal Oak? Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak has iconic status, so it's no wonder it's one of the most sought-after watches for celebrities and high-profile sports figures. Royal Oak fans include LeBron James (basketball), Neymar (soccer) and Serena Williams (tennis), as well as celebrity musicians like Drake.Jacob & Co. Epic X Chrono
