The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked, reference 15469BC.ZZ.1260BC.01-A, is the ultimate expression of technical mastery and haute joaillerie.

Exuding sophistication, rarity, and architectural beauty, this model is an exceptional piece within the iconic Royal Oak collection.
Snow-Set Brilliance in White Gold
The 37 mm case, octagonal bezel, and integrated bracelet are fully set with baguette-cut diamonds of the highest clarity and quality. These diamonds are expertly aligned to match the Royal Oak’s iconic geometric design, enhancing each angle and surface with intense brilliance. The unique snow-set pattern allows the diamonds to shimmer in a seemingly organic, flowing texture — a true feat of gem-setting precision. This extraordinary design transforms the timepiece into a wearable sculpture, perfect for collectors seeking exclusivity and elegance.
Openworked Dial with Unrivaled Depth
The skeletonized dial offers a dramatic view into the heart of the movement. Crafted with exceptional transparency and meticulous finishing, the openworked bridges are rhodium-toned and bevelled by hand, showcasing the finest traditions of Swiss watchmaking. Pink gold hour markers and Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating provide both contrast and legibility, while adding warmth to the cool brilliance of the white gold and diamonds. The architectural layout of the dial offers a three-dimensional experience that’s captivating from every angle.
Revolutionary Calibre 3132 – Double Balance Innovation
Powering the 15469BC.ZZ.1260BC.01-A is Audemars Piguet’s in-house Calibre 3132, a selfwinding movement that introduces a patented double balance wheel mechanism. By incorporating two balance wheels and two hairsprings on the same axis, the movement achieves greater stability, precision, and shock resistance. With a 45-hour power reserve and meticulous hand-finishing throughout, this caliber reflects the technical ingenuity and artisanal excellence of the brand.
Where Horology Meets High Jewelry
Designed for those who demand only the extraordinary, this Royal Oak is not just a watch—it is a declaration. With over 800 baguette-cut diamonds expertly placed across its surfaces, every detail reflects dedication to perfection. Despite its jewelry-like elegance, the watch is water-resistant to 20 meters and robust enough for regular wear, thanks to its durable construction and sapphire crystal front and back.
