Audemars Piguet makes a resounding statement with the highly anticipated release of the [RE]Master02, a captivating timepiece that seamlessly blends historical inspiration with contemporary design. This limited-edition watch marks the return of the [RE]Master collection after a four-year silence, signalling a renewed commitment from the brand to exploring its rich heritage beyond the iconic Royal Oak.
A Bold Reimagining of a Rare Classic
The [RE]Master02 takes its cues from the ultra-rare reference 5159BA, a uniquely shaped yellow gold watch produced in extremely limited quantities in the late 1950s. Audemars Piguet has reinterpreted this distinctive design for the modern era, crafting a larger and more robust 41mm case in their newly developed Sand Gold material.
The [RE]Master02’s striking aesthetic is further enhanced by its segmented "Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50" dial, a vibrant blue hue borrowed from the beloved Royal Oak "Jumbo," and finished with a captivating radial satin pattern. The dial's twelve segments are separated by sleek lines of Sand Gold, serving as both hour markers and a harmonious link to the case and hands.
A Movement Fit for a Masterpiece
Powering the [RE]Master02 is the automatic Calibre 7129, a remarkably thin movement renowned for its precision and reliability. This choice of calibre allows the watch to maintain a surprisingly slim profile despite its bold, angular case, showcasing Audemars Piguet’s commitment to both technical excellence and aesthetic refinement.
A Statement of Intent
The [RE]Master02 is more than just a watch, it’s a statement of intent. It signals Audemars Piguet’s willingness to embrace its archives and reinterpret historical designs with a fresh, contemporary perspective. Limited to just 250 pieces worldwide, the [RE]Master02 is sure to be a highly sought-after addition to any serious watch collection.
