    To commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet released to the public their first ever Royal Oak Concept Watch in 2002. With a vision to create a wristwatch for the future with innovative technology that can enhance the research and development into their main line, the CW1 was just the start. Designed initially by Gerald Genta in 1972 of the first luxury sports wristwatch in stainless steel with a fully integrated bracelet, the CW1 is perhaps the furthest from its forefather, however still retaining its iconic case and bezel design with a slight twist.

    Encased in an Alacrite 602 case, the CW1 already sounds futuristic with an alloy consisting of cobalt chrome, tungsten, carbon, silicon and iron, originally developed for the aerospace industry. The alloy was only used in the first Royal Oak Concept Watch and has never been used again in their later models or any watch manufactured by any other brand. Whilst maintaining much inspiration from the original Royal Oak, the CW1 case is modified to an extent featuring a curved bezel with naked screws to succumb the domed crystal whilst still retaining its sharp case edges and bevels. Developed by Renaud & Papi, the movement is constructed with titanium plates and bridges and features a tourbillon escapement positioned to the left displayed through a semi-skeletonized dial. Focusing on the dial side, a dynmographe scale at 12 O’clock represent the quality of torque on the mainspring, a linear power reserve indication on the right side and small seconds with crown position indication located on the bottom. Activated by a pusher positioned at 4 O’clock, it enables the function of the crown via R (Remontoir), N (Neutral) and H (Hand-setting).

    Extremely remarkable and marking a new era for Audemars Piguet, the Royal Oak Concept Watches continues to thrive today with new innovative approaches carried on to their main line of Royal Oak wristwatches. The present example belongs to the very first Concept Watch released by the firm and it will always remain unique due to its standout case made of Alacrite 602 and remains as the only wristwatch encased in the material.
