Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Review - Better Than Patek?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 вер 2018
- Join me for a quick review of a legend. The infamous AP Royal Oak in 18k pink gold. Often mentioned alongside the famous Patek Philippe Nautilus...this watch is a masterpiece. Let's take a quick look at this beautiful watch. When a Rolex Daytona or Omega Speedmaster simply won't do, this may be the answer you are looking for.

This will be this month's give away right? ;)
This does not have an in house movement. It is based on the F. Piquet 1185.
Good job JA. One could feel a passion for this time piece in your review. I just wish I could share your passion. Petty it's not my taste. Thanks for sharing.
No question, it is a stunning watch, absolute show stopper and tour de force. Thanks for that review it was a real treat to see!
Donn Testa Thanks for watching Donn!
Nice Royal Oak
Even nicer when the original finish is fresh, this one seems a little dull and doesn't show it's true potential!
Seems to me on two attempts to reset the chrono, it did not in fact, reset. Instead proceeding to start counting again. Is our host wrong about the traditional functionality? Or?
Thank you for a great review.
One defiantly does not see this watch
around too much. It is beautiful but I’d very cautious wearing it, even if I could rock it. It’s probably best just to be admired from a distance.
Rob S. Thanks, yeah this is a lot of money to be sitting on your wrist for sure...I’d be a bit paranoid as well lol
I used to want Omega, got a couple. I used to want Rolex, got a few. NOW I want and AP, specifically a 42mil Offshore. Still wanting.
I have a love for the design but and I will get loads of thumbs down I know but and here's the thing.....A solar quartz not in gold? OK I am on the run? I don't look back at the speed I am running!Good review.Cheers.Len (Before I get lynched that is)
Anthony, another great review. It’s quite obvious you are smitten with that Royal Oak. I have to admit, I agree with you in that the design is classic. I’m wondering when it was manufactured? Pink gold is something that hasn’t been commonly used in at least 25 years (that or I’m still living under a rock). It is a beautiful example of haute horology. But for me, the price tag would keep me from ever wearing it for fear of damaging it. Thanks to Bernard Watch too for letting you review it. All the best!!!-Mark
Thanks Mark, this watch is currently in production so it is a recent piece. Thanks for watching as always!
Anthony, well that proves it, I still live under a rock! :) I remember pink/strawberry gold was popular in the late ‘70s. Like rose gold is today. The hue is beautiful in sunlight. Mark
Thanks J. I am from Singapore. I recently bought the new 38mm AP chronograph. Absolutely love it. Love the AP chronograph. I also have the Daytona. But AP wins hands down
J., thanks for showing us a piece that is hard to see in person, especially in western Canada. What is difference between regular and offshore RO?
+Andy Cook Thanks for watching, case shape is mostly the same however the offshore has a different dial layout and rubberized crowns typically among other differences to make it look sportier
I like APbut Personally I would take the new vc overseas chrono with reverse panda dial.
Better watch better water resistance better movement.
Very nice
An amazing watch. Thank you for sharing :-)
Savvy Life Strategies thanks for watching as always!
Apologies if I missed it, but is this a new watch? I can't work out if it's got wear marks and has been polished, or just has stickers on!
Andy Garton looks to me like it's been worn a lot or poorly refinished, also appears to be yellow gold not pink.
Yes agreed, the bezel edges especially look over polished, a lot softer than mine - the screws don't look too bad though.
Awesome video on a truly amazing watch. Thanks.
Thank you for watching
Amazing watch....
The solid gold is of course very impressive.... Not for me personally, but.... I appreciate what it is.... I'm not sure I need to flaunt that sort of ultra wealth, but again, just my humble opinion....
Yeah, I feel like I could give a Royal Oak offshore a good home.... Hahah! A stainless one...
If I never told you, I'm from Pewaukee Wisconsin.... A village maybe 20 miles west of Milwaukee.... My job moved me to Eau Claire Wisconsin a few years ago...
Unless the compensations are really otherworldly, be it money, or whatever, don't move to Eau Claire for your job....
+Patrick Morrissey hahah, I’ll keep that in mind. I’ve yet to visit Milwaukee but I have several friends from there so it’s on my list.
Amazing piece! Please keep it up.
Thanks Amintas!
J. Anthony Great content and videos beautiful watch and I’m from Pittsburgh PA
Bryan Holleran Thanks Brian! I used to visit Carnegie science center as a kid. I remember being in the USS Requin there..
J. ANTHONY that’s cool there’s a lot of history in Pittsburgh you should visit again it’s a fun and interesting city
Not being a blingy sort of man gold bracelets and watches arn,t my thing,but i enjoyed the video,my favourite genta watch is the polerouter a classic and simple watch-greetings from the wirral in england.
Yeah... Probably not for me. Not a huge fan of that much gold nor that price haha. I'd rather get a ducati with that money. Also think it's awsome you have that discount commission thing going, hopefully one day seiko jumps on board with that idea too XD
Great vid as always! Checking in from Australia
Julian Takeshi Quayle Thanks Julian....yeah Seiko and Rolex can call me anytime!!!
The movement is NOT in house, it's based on a Fredric Piguet 1185. AP has yet to produce their own in-house integrated automatic chrono movement. The Offshores use $500 Dubois Depraz CAM lever chrono modules (also found in many Tag Heuers) stacked on top of their 3120 in house movement, which is laughably tiny for Offshore/41mm RO cases. They also have notorious reliability issues.
Oh The UK. Cheers.
I’m fine with commission and would be surprised if you didn’t. Can’t live on google ads alone. Only problem with watch is that it doesn’t look pink enough. Have you done a video on the different kinds of gold? I’m in Minneapolis
Thanks for tuning in. I haven’t and that actually is a good idea. If I can get ahold of several different watches at once that would be a good deal.
J. ANTHONY And include why you never want gold plated even if it’s a cool vintage watch from the 60’s.
S. Jersey-----------near Philly
Cali checking in
Coi Tajo thanks for checking in!
Does this guy ever give the reference number???
brill watch really like it too... we can dream for one lol at that price iam from the uk
Thanks for tuning in, I’m overdue to visit the UK.
Great review, no doubt a fine machine, but nonetheless I find it homely (understated but still garish) and not worth the price tag even for guys who can afford them. Parts of the case and bracelet look rough and the finish just lacking refinement, although I like solid gold. Iconic world renown designers do not always get it right.
Yeah, taste is very subjective and one persons trash is another’s masterpiece. I still don’t get why people love the Mona Lisa....
Who could call this watch homely I would hate to see the looks of the women you go out with
The pink gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch is a beautiful watch. The AP dial, case and bracelet are beautiful. I will knickname this watch Fort Knox gold brick. I will rather buy this gold AP Royal Oak for $50,000 then buying a $50,000 Mercedes benz E Class because like a jewelry I can pass the AP to my children and grand children, the watch only require service every one or two years and I can store the watch in a bank safety box and gold last forever, the 5000 years old gold mask of Tutankhamun still exist today.
why do they only make them closed back.. The people want am open caseback!
IF I could own a gold watch and it got scratched, I would be sent into a deep depression. Cheers, watching you in Japan.
+Blaine Cole Thanks for watching Blaine
Namibia, Africa
Nice watch💣
Not for me. The main and sub dial hands appear cheap to me.
J. ----wow don't return it --run like hell---------------thanks, keep up the good work---David
+david fulginiti haha, thanks David
50.000 dollar for this watch with 7000 dollar worth of gold on it....that is 43000 dollar for the watch.....and that is a lot.
looks good but holy guacamoly is this one expensive!
Jeff1809 yeah....indeed it is not exactly super affordable
It's a beauty
It's very pretty dazzling the only thing that makes it ugly it's $50,000 haha
Did you buy it :)
JustBlueFish Watch Reviews no, this is car money for me haha
I don't get it, you do commercial for watch-companies?
What dont you get? He explained it both at the beginning and the end review
I didn't watch the video, its too much watches for me, I like only rolex=)
Haha first world problems :-)
And you yourself are a part to the world, as Micheal Jackson said " if you wanna change the world look at yourself in the mirror and make a change"
You don't pronounce the "s" in Audemars
Love this channel hate that watch, and its derivatives. Crazy expensive to buy then watch them rub their hands when it's service time!!! OUCH
I always appreciate the support and you sharing your perspective!
J. ANTHONY Hey JA you will Always have my support. Apologies for the negativity but if everybody liked the same thing...
No need to apologize for your opinion. Variety in perspectives is welcome and appreciated.
Invicta is better
How could you possibly compare audemars piguet watches to protect it is like comparing a beauty to a beast. AP watches give patek Philippe 52 Swift kicks in the ass in beauty!
To people who say this is an overrated watch, you're wrong. AP Royal Oak is the best of all watches. I've seen everything in its class and it's decidedly superior. It _KILLS_ the Nautilus, which is always underwhelming, as well as the Vacherson Overseas & Piaget Polo.
I don't care for the Offshore models, which are actually ugly. Not into the gold either - the Stainless variations are simply gorgeous.
When I say gorgeous, I mean it. They are absolutely the nicest-looking watches I've seen.
how can a watch be "the best" watch when its mostly about personal preference
That's obviously just your opinion and your opinion wouldn't resonate wholly with the entire market and all enthusiasts.
You really gonna say this watch is objectively superior to anything AL&S has to offer? I mean I love it, it's a grail no doubt but don't bullshit yourself, it isn't perfect.
Of course it's subjective; but as someone who's handled a lot of Royal Oaks and Nautiluses, the former always have a nicer look. I don't mean they're more aesthetic per se; I mean, they look decidedly higher end.
Invicta is better
This guy came 9 times making this video
People are knocking this watch because it's a lot of money and gold. I'm laughing my ass off. Richard Mill uses Damme plastic. Okay ceramic plastic whatever you want to call it and velcro straps. and there is a huge markup on his watches double triple the cost of original list price.So much money you could buy an executive home with it. patek Philippe they mark up their watches as well and they're ugly as s***. The bracelet cannot be compared to AP. And the looks I just beautiful compared to attack put them side-by-side and you will see. AP to me as a bargain
invicta-esk
+StenchLord Yeah, Invicta has ripped this design off
That watch is ugly. If Invicta copied the design that tells you everything. At least its gold.
They have??? What is their ripoff called?
Stenchlord - Funny
@@bngr_bngr snob
Man o man, … this is a direct Maurice Lacroix Aikon rip off whowww
AjaxForever haha, this design has been around since the 70s
I know my friend. I was just pulling your leg :-)
Hah....you got me
I just don't see it !! The Majority of the cost is the gold. Other than that it's not that good looking. And at only 21,600 beats not good by today's standards. The 34 jewels we all know that most of that is wasted. Definitely not a $50,000 watch !!
I think people say it's not good-looking because they can't afford it. Or that girly men that like little feminine watches. That is the most beautiful masculine watch that I see the bracelet is stunning
I bought my first Rolex Daytona last year. While I like that watch it is way too small for a man with the rest of my size. I absolutely love the 42 mmmm gold and platinum offshores. but those watches next to let's say a patek Philippe 5980 and it just knocked the crap out of it and looks
"Unbiased" lol, wtf? "Hey guys, this is a totally objective review but if you buy this I'm getting a couple grand. " Its as sad as it is amazing how the channel went from sincere and honest to flogging dipshit Submariner copies and anything under the sun for money.
+VinceFull I’m sorry you feel that way, I’m trying to show stuff for everyone. I mentioned that to be honest and to not mislead my audience.
All that money and not even a case back Display. Disgusting
Yeah, a see through case back would be great,
Nice but you're just getting sucked in. AP devalue too much. Its nothing special for 50K.
+Michael Hayward yeah, they don’t have the resale a Patek would have i agree
Thanks, not beating on your case or anything. I just feel (where watches are concerned) people are turning away from the true value of horology in the pursuit of some kind of sycophantic narcissism.
Hate to give a contra argument on a comment, but nonetheless not everybody collects watches, thinking on resale value or as collateral when facing bankrupcy. (which is where I'm heading anyways) I collect watches that I like, not so much based on price, brand or the ability to hold value. Cause, the fact is that most people won't even know if you're wearing an uber expensive watch or not, by just looking at it. Unless that person is into watches, just like you.
Greg Arends don't know if you were replying to my comment? What you said is quite right, thats a good reason to collect. People nowadays tend to concentrate on post 1970's survivor brands and forget watch history. Collect what you like, for whatever reason you like.
Don’t get it? Seems like a waste of precious gold. Glad there is endless choices out there for everyone because that kind of money is insanity for a horrible design. And only 50 meter water resistance. 10 grand for every 10 feet, lol!
TRUE LIBERTY haha, yeah this is a desk diver for sure....
You can time yourself counting your silly money in the bank. Sorry not very classy. Alsheff
alan smith haha, indeed
Looklike fake one
Your intro is to long. I almost left when you came on. Just start talking, we are in a hurry.. Sorry to be so brutal.
chip bryant I appreciate the feedback, just trying to show off the dial of the watch
