The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak skeleton 16204 platinum case is one of Audemars Piguet’s most important new watches this year. How heavyweight is it? For example, at the level of Royal Oak Skeleton 16204, the price is no longer displayed on the Audemars Piguet official website. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, from ancient times to the present, has “countless” varieties. But among them, only one pure bloodline continues to this day, a direct descendant of the first Royal Oak 5402 in 1972, which is the Royal Oak "JUMBO" ultra-thin 16202 on sale today, and 16204 is its hollow version. This hollow is even more remarkable. The hollow model is only launched on big dates such as the 40th and 50th anniversaries of the Royal Oak. The 16204 currently on sale was launched on the 50th anniversary (2022, the last time was in 2012 Year), this one 16204BC is its platinum model.

This year, Royal Oak launched a hollow 16204 platinum case to replace the previously launched steel case, which has been discontinued. The reason is also very simple, the platinum and steel cases are both silver. With the same appearance, the discontinuation of the steel case not only maintains the rarity of the steel case 16204, but also further increases the value of 16204 through the new platinum case. The Royal Oak Ultra-Thin Skeleton 16204 currently on sale are all gold watches (white gold, yellow gold, rose gold).
This platinum shell Royal Oak 16204 uses the same 39 mm size as the Royal Oak "JUMBO" 16202 and is 8.1 mm thick. The thickness of 8.1 mm is thinner than Nautilus 5811 and Zonghengsihai 4500V/4520V. As the originator of “all-in-one” luxury sports watches, the Royal Oak 39mm “JUMBO” has the most orthodox integrated watch head and bracelet shape. It is both ultra-thin and formal while exercising, and is the only benchmark for "all-in-one" luxury sports watches.
The dial of Royal Oak 16204 is entirely hollow. It should be noted that this generation of Royal Oak is ultra-thin hollowed out and removes the calendar. The hollowing out is more thorough and the area dug out is larger (the previous generation in 2012 had a calendar). Through the hollowing out, we can clearly see the board circuit of the movement below. At 10 o'clock, you can also see the winding spring in the barrel. From the spring box, along the left side of the disk, you can see at a glance the second wheel, the third wheel, the fourth wheel (seconds wheel), the escape wheel, and the balance wheel. On the right side of the dial, there are mainly the setting needle and the winding wheel train. Three-dimensional hour markers and scales surround the disk.
