Audemars Piguet Remaster 15240SG.OO.A347CR.01

In 2020, coinciding with the official opening of Audemars Piguet’s new museum—the Musée Atelier—in Le Brassus, the [RE]Master collection made its debut. The [RE]Master series itself embodies a distinctively Audemars Piguet philosophy. The collection’s inaugural timepiece, the [RE]Master01—released in 2020—reinterpreted a vintage chronograph from 1943. For its second chapter—the [RE]Master02—Audemars Piguet turned its gaze toward a particularly rare and daring period in the brand’s history: the era of "shaped watches" from around 1960.

Between 1959 and 1963, the brand produced over thirty different asymmetrical watch designs—most of which had production runs of fewer than ten pieces. While Audemars Piguet is today virtually synonymous with the *Royal Oak*, in that era, the brand actually experimented with a wide array of highly avant-garde aesthetics. The prototype honored by the *[RE]Master02* is the Reference 5159BA, launched in 1960; only seven examples were ever produced, one of which currently resides in the Audemars Piguet Museum (Musée Atelier). Influenced by the Brutalist movement of the 1960s, Audemars Piguet crafted a case design characterized by sharp angles—a look that was simultaneously asymmetrical and minimalist. One side of the case extends outward, exuding a powerful sense of geometric tension. Measuring 41 millimeters in diameter yet standing just 9.7 millimeters thick, it ranks as one of the most eminently wearable timepieces among "shaped" watches. 

Audemars Piguet’s 18K Sand Gold is a unique alloy composed of gold, copper, and palladium. Depending on the lighting and the movement of the wearer's wrist, its color shifts between white gold and rose gold, exuding a distinctive warm tone. This choice is perfectly suited for a timepiece like the [RE]Master02. Given its already bold and assertive silhouette, adorning it with an overly flashy color would risk making the entire watch appear ostentatious. Instead—particularly through the interplay of brushed and polished surfaces—the Sand Gold serves to accentuate the watch's architectural quality rather than reducing it to a mere "expensive" gold watch; this sophisticated execution lends the piece a truly high-end aesthetic.

Audemars Piguet has paired this material with the brand’s signature "Night Blue" hue, achieved through a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process. The dial is not a single flat surface, but rather a composition of 12 triangular segments. Each segment features a parallel brushed finish, creating dynamic shifts in light and shadow across the various triangular zones as the viewing angle changes. These segments are separated by dividers crafted from Sand Gold, ensuring that this watch—which displays only hours and minutes—proves far more visually engaging than many timepieces cluttered with numerous complications. Viewed in its entirety, the dial resembles a cross-section of an architectural facade or an abstract collage.

The "AUDEMARS PIGUET" brand signature positioned at the 3 o'clock mark, along with the baton-style hour markers and hands, are all crafted from 18K Sand Gold, ensuring perfect material harmony with the rest of the timepiece. The watch is fitted with a blue alligator leather strap secured by a pin buckle—also crafted from Sand Gold—which extends the blue motif of the dial outward while simultaneously using the leather texture to ground the watch's avant-garde design firmly within the realm of high watchmaking.

The watch is powered by the Calibre 7129, an ultra-thin self-winding movement dedicated solely to displaying hours and minutes (omitting a date function) and measuring a mere 2.8 millimeters in thickness. The oscillating weight is mounted on ball bearings and equipped with two reversing wheels to facilitate bi-directional winding https://www.firstwatchclone.co.
