The Audemars Piguet [RE]Master02 Automatic 41mm Replica marks the return of a collection that Audemars Piguet launched in early 2020, designed to revive and remake some of the finer, long-forgotten timepieces in its vast inventory. The Audemars Piguet 5159BA is an asymmetrical watch that was launched more than half a century ago, in 1960. It exudes a wild vibe from the 1950s, with its overpowering lugs, extra-long lines, sharp corners, and playful, casual asymmetry. It’s awesome.
The original was intended to have sharp edges, and the new one does: mid-20th-century stamping and forming techniques offer little advantage over modern milling technology, multi-axis CNC machines, and the sheer ability to define shapes with micron-level precision. The end result looks like something the original designer would have dreamed of – although to be fair, the soft edges and wobbly surfaces of vintage Audemars Piguet Replica Watches have a charm all their own that most cold and calculated 21st-century alternatives can’t replicate.
It’s seriously stylish and a far better choice than vivid yellow gold, historically incorrect rose gold or boring white gold. Hats off to the brand for finding a custom alloy that matches the mood so perfectly. The dial – and you’ll want to warm up to this one – is called “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50”. Just don’t say that out loud at the dinner table if you want to continue to have real friends.
Odd-shaped watches are often prized by collectors because their unique designs require custom, or at least heavily modified, movements – some watchmakers are willing to go the extra mile, though. Given the Remaster02’s odd shape, and the fact that Audemars Piguet Replica Watches For Sale is pushing itself and its “watchmaking heritage,” perhaps some were expecting something less than…
On a more positive note, the Remaster02 is powered by the beautiful Audemars Piguet Caliber 7129, an automatic movement that, at just 2.8mm thick, is “ultra-thin.” The 7129 features an enlarged barrel, ball bearings, and a double commutator rotor to sustain its modern 4Hz operating frequency through an extended 52-hour power reserve—impressive for a movement this thin.
As a result, the [RE]Master02 is just 9.7mm thick, scaling down the aesthetics of the Omega PloProf to dress watch size. The odd cutouts in the gold rotor are an elegant plus—the annoying, very 2000s “limited edition” etchings are not. Audemars Piguet Replica Buy Now has a vast collection of beautiful vintage watch designs, and it’s great to see the brand slowly giving them new life.
As for the Replica Watches For Discount, the case, alloys, and dial have all been carefully considered to maintain excellent proportions, and are likely to have a solid quality of execution – something that needs to be assessed in person, not through a computer rendering. That being said, the movement and its integration may be an Achilles heel for some – while others will surely overlook it completely. It would just be nice if Audemars Piguet put a little more effort into this aspect before calling the project a re-edition.
