This is Watch Your Style.
Today I'm going to be doing a review on the Audemars Piguet Openworked.
[intro music]
Alright, so there's several things I wanna mention about this watch and the first thing
I wanna say is that, originally the first generation of this model was the 39 millimeter
Openworked Skeleton, whatever you guys wanna call it.
And, look, I loved that watch, but ever since I used to see, it was kinda of like, �Eeeehhh,�
you know?
Kind of that thirty nine millimeter that kinda felt like it fell kinda of short and that's
something that just kinda bothered me.
And then, all of the sudden, �Bam!�...the 41mm Royal Oak Double Balanced and I said,
�God damn, now we're talking!�
That totally changed it for me.
Immediately I completely just eliminated the 39 millimeter Openworked from my mind; just,
you're dead to me!
That's kinda of how I felt about it.
This watch right now, the way it looks, stunning!
It's out of control.
It's called the Double Balanced because, if you don't notice, it has a double escapement
wheels, pretty much.
A lot of people asking like, �Yeah, I'm calling about the tourbillon you have for
sale for $80,000.� Impossible!
There is not AP tourbillon in that price range, especially unworn or a new model.
This is kinda like a bad-ass watch without having to go into the charted waters of tourbillon
prices.
So, if you're trying to get something that has a lot of like oomph and look and a skeleton
dial, the Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked is probably gonna be your best option.
It's available in two options.
You got the rose gold or the stainless steel.
As much as I like the rose gold one, I feel like my favorite one might be the steel.
I don't know.
It's just something about that steel 41 with a skeleton dial.
It just plays amazing!
I simply love this watch and there isn't enough of them right now.
There's like a crazy hype about them and you just can't get them.
So, one thing I wanna mention to you and there's always, like I had mentioned about 39mm, I'm
gonna show you the easiest way to know which one's a 39 and which is the 41.
This is for somebody that doesn't know that much yet.
One of the things you'll notice on this watch is that there's a giant, gold bridge that
goes from one side to the other holding the escapement wheels.
That is your best way to know that it's a 41, because the 39 millimeter it's all the
same color as the rest.
It's all that gray gunmetal color.
So if you see that gold bridge holding the balanced wheels, that's how you know it's
a 41 mm.
So let's talk about pricing.
There's nothing to talk about.
These watches you cannot find them.
You're gonna be paying over retail and you'll be lucky if you pay retail.
This is not one of those limited editions.
This is what I would like to call �limited production.� They don't say it.
They don't state it, but there's just not gonna be a lot of them.
They're gonna hold production to raise demand.
So, if you're lucky enough to get a hold of one, grab it.
Don't think about it.
You could pay a little bit more.
You know the gold one is going easily five thousand dollars over retail and I just justify
that a thousand times more than $5,000 over a retail for a ceramic, steel Daytona.
I mean, look at this damn thing!
As far as the watch game goes, you're killing it!
Freaking killing it!
You got a Royal Oak Openworked on your wrist, you're doing some damage.
I don't care if it's steel or rose or if you wanna go that crazy route.
I've seen a couple of them fully flooded.
Jesus Christ!
I mean, that thing's out of hand!
I love this watch!
It's sporty.
It's elegant.
It's everything!
I don't even thing I even need to see a version of it with a leather strap.
I don't even thing it's necessary.
I think that they've hit it perfect with this model.
So if you like this model or you don't, feel free to leave me some comments on this video.
