High‑tech ceramic at 1,500 Vickers is seven times harder than steel yet weighs less than titanium. Audemars Piguet machines this space‑age material for its Royal Oak Ceramic, Royal Oak Offshore Diver 15720 and Code 11.59 Ceramic Chronograph—then hand‑finishes every bevel to a mirror shine. The result: stealth looks, scratch immunity and full AP pedigree.
Why Choose a Ceramic AP?
- Scratch‑Proof Shell – Only diamond can mark AP’s zirconium‑oxide ceramic.
- Lightweight Comfort – A 41 mm Royal Oak black ceramic weighs ~100 g—40 % less than its steel twin.
- UV‑Stable Color – Pigment is baked into the powder; black, white or blue hues never fade.
- Collector Demand – Limited runs mean full‑ceramic Royal Oak for sale pieces often trade above retail.

Audemars Piguet uses advanced zirconium‑oxide ceramic in several Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore references. In the core Royal Oak range you’ll find full‑ceramic executions—case, bezel, and bracelet—in jet‑black, glacier‑white, and a boutique‑only midnight‑blue that requires nearly 30 hours of CNC milling and hand‑finishing per watch. The Offshore family adds a sportier twist: most versions retain steel or gold cases while upgrading to a scratch‑proof ceramic bezel for daily‑wear resilience. Rarest of all is the 2023 “Cactus Jack” collaboration, a limited‑edition Royal Oak Offshore cast entirely in matte brown ceramic—an industry first that underscores AP’s technical leadership in high‑hardness materials.Audemars Piguet Ceramic Price
Retail starts around $54 000 USD for an Offshore Diver or Code 11.59 chronograph with ceramic case parts. Full‑ceramic Royal Oak models list higher—e.g., the black‑ceramic Perpetual Calendar retails near $100 k but trades pre‑owned at $300 k plus, and the discontinued Jumbo 15202CE fetches $250 k–$320 k. Prices depend on model, complication, and market demand.FAQ
Is ceramic AP durable?
Extremely scratch‑resistant; impact can chip edges, so avoid concrete knocks.Audemars Piguet Ceramic Review
Audemars Piguet
"I thought I knew the Royal Oak until I strapped on the full‑ceramic AP. The matte black ceramic case and bracelet feel almost weightless, crazy for a 41 mm watch—and the scratch resistance means no more babied wrist‑time."
