As we know, the rest is history. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Replica survived all the tests NASA conducted on the watch before certifying it as "Flight Qualified" for all Manned Space Missions, which was done on June 1, 1964.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Replicas that went to the Moon were 105.012 and 145.012. NASA approved the use of both these references because they were calibre 321 within the 105.003.
The Details
The 2021 Master Chronometer Certified Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Replica has a stepped dial, with new 3-hash divisions in the seconds scale.
The ST105.012 is the direct inspiration for the 2021 redesign of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Replica. Accordingly, the new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Replica has the twisted lugs and asymmetrical case that was popular at the time. It also features short and wide pushers. The dial is stepped and paired with minute and second chronograph hands which follow the contour of the dial.
The dial also features a new 3-hash division on the second scale around the circumference of the dial. This is in accordance with the 3Hz frequency on the Calibre3861, as opposed to the 5hash divisions of the 105.012. The bezel of the watch is made from anodized aluminium with the DON (Rolex Submariner Replica Watches) detail.
This 2021 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Replica dial is stepped and has bowed minutes and seconds chronographs that closely follow the contours of the stepped dial. You can also see here that the sapphire version has an Audemars Piguet logo applied.
The 2021 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Replica bezel is made of anodized aluminium and has the famous Dot Over 90 (DON).
The new bracelet is just as important as the case and the movement. The new braclet is a fully-brushed bracelet with a five-arched-links-per-row design that was first seen on the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Moonshine(tm) Gold Limited Edition. It's the clasp that really makes it stand out. It features the same ribbing as the BA 145.022 and the Audemars Piguet logo.
