Another thing to take note of is that even though it is heavy, the fact that this is a 42mm, it is a lot easier to don on your wrist. Nonetheless, the heaviness of the watch is something we want to make clear if the nickname doesn’t already make that certain. The feeling of mass and substance clearly explains the nickname of this oversized AP watch.

On the wrist, the Audemars Piguet Brick is 16 centimeters in circumference. Nonetheless, though, this is a watch that should be seen, not tucked under a sleeve. Also, its octagonal bezel has a slope to it, so it will allow for a looser sleeve from a sports blazer, jacket or casual sweater, to flow up and over the case of the brick with ease. It is only 14.5mm from the top of the sapphire to the bottom of the case back. Regarding thickness, this AP ROO is not too thick. The watch is water resistant up to 100 meters and has a 50-hour power reserve. As with the 1972 Royal Oak, this model’s case, lug and bracelet are very closely unified. It has an incredible presence with its entirely rose gold bezel, case, bracelet, dial and clasp. If you are thinking about getting an AP rose gold watch, this is definitely one of the best ones you can get on the market. Rose gold is the most popular metal for watches these days, as it is considered more modern than yellow gold. For the luxury watch industry, the AP rose gold watch, “The Brick”, is a big win. It seems that there are five 44mm watches around for every one of these. 42mm is a more versatile size than 44mm, as the 44mm just doesn’t fit everybody.įurthermore, the 42mm is “in” right now and it holds the most exclusivity for AP and the watch industry. It is an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 42mm. It has a different dial layout, see-through caseback, ceramic chronograph buttons, and the crown is different, all of which, we believe, was a nice change, and it’s very subtle as to not shock consumers.Īlthough the watch is super heavy, we absolutely love the Rose Gold Audemars Piguet Brick. The version we are reviewing in this article is the latest version of the watch.ĪP made a couple changes when they revamped the Royal Oak Offshore line in 2014. It’s called The Brick because it weighs like a brick. This particular model in all gold is called The Brick (AP 26470). When it comes to the Royal Oak Offshore in rose gold, this is even more apparent as it is such a charming color. It goes to show how well AP understands fashion and design.

In terms of brand tradition, reliability, and resale, what really attracts us the most about AP is the overall design of the Royal Oaks. Out of all the most popular commercial Swiss brands of watches, AP is a brand in the sweet spot between Patek Philippe and Rolex. It’s very unique and it stands out tremendously from the rest. It’s hard to mistake the Offshore line from other brands of watches with its octagonal rose gold bezel and unique dial layout.
