Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin Openworked 16204BC
Initially introduced in 2022 as part of the 50th-anniversary celebrations of the Royal Oak, the Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Openworked was first released in steel (reference 16204ST), featuring a steel-grey skeletonized movement and contrasting pink gold hands and indices. Following this, the watch was also made available in pink, yellow and white?gold cases. While the steel version is no longer available, the gold-cased references are not designated as limited anniversary editions, making them available based on production capacity. As such, they may be purchased directly from the brand but keep in mind; conditions apply.Though the coloured gold versions are undeniably striking - especially the pink gold variant with its contrasting openworked dark grey dial - it is the sleek white metal version of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Openworked that continues to captivate and excite.

Want to go high-end, IWC and Panerai?have a lot to offer, among many others. Longines even has a wide variety in its Heritage collection. Most are excellent examples of a given time period and fine watches on their own, but few have truly unique personalities. The Longines Avigation BigEye bucks the trend with an atypical chronograph that hits a lot of the right notes, but its provenance is a bit of a mystery.

Its typical tonneau-shaped case features a beautiful polished and sun-ray brushed finish, with lovely beveled and polished edges. The dial features the typical tri-compax 3-6-9 lay-out: a 30-minute register at 3 o'clock, a 12-hour register at 6 o'clock and a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock.The tachymeter scale is rather special and is unique in the Omega collection.

There are of course the brand's dashboard instruments and stopwatches. But above anything else, the Heuer chronograph legend was forged during the 1960s and 1970s, the golden age of motor racing. The thrill of adrenaline-infused drives at breakneck speed inevitably comes to mind with iconic names such as Porsche, Gulf, Le Mans, Steve Mac Queen, Jo
