SIHH 2015: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept RD#1 (Updated with Live Photo)
As it did last year, Audemars Piguet presented a new Royal Oak Concept watch at the 2015 SIHH watch fair. This year’s model is truly a milestone: The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept RD#1 (formerly nicknamed “Acoustic Research”) ¡ª which I saw, and heard, in person today ¡ª is a unique prototype piece that is the result of an eight-year program to develop the “perfect” minute repeater sound volume.To develop the Royal Oak Concept RD#1 timepiece, Audemars Piguet partnered with the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), a Swiss organization dedicated to the study of acoustics.
