Ceramic Audemars Piguet Collections
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.
