Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Inspired By Vallée de Joux’s…

The Vallée de Joux’s night sky has fuelled the imagination and creativity of Audemars Piguet’s artisans for generations.

Combining high-tech machining with traditional finishing, this unique material brings together a wide range of modern watchmaking skills. While several years of development went into applying the ‘Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50’ shade to ceramic and ensuring a homogenous hue that could be reproduced, each watch component undergoes meticulous hand-finishing in the final stages of production to further embellish the depth of colour and enhance plays of light.

“The sky of the Vallée de Joux has played a key role in the history of Audemars Piguet, inspiring the colour ‘Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50’, which is now one of the brand’s signature elements. The launch of this new ceramic is a tribute to both the region and it’s talents, and to our relentless quest for innovation.”
Ilaria Resta, Chief Executive Officer, Audemars Piguet
