THB Factory V2 Edition — Integrated Steel Bracelet
The THB Factory V2 release of the Royal Oak 15407 Double Balance Wheel Openworked represents a significant structural milestone in skeletonized replicas. By discarding the traditional Miyota 9015 base with decorative plates, THB has achieved the genuine-specification 9.9mm case thickness. This high-density 316L steel construction weighs in at a substantial 170 grams, correcting the lightweight feel and bloated case profiles that plagued earlier iterations of this reference.
Powering the piece is the custom SA3132 Super Clone integrated skeleton movement, engineered specifically for this 1:1 openworked architecture. Unlike previous versions with static front plates, the visible mechanical gears and transmission wheel axles on the dial side feature real mechanical functionality. The movement utilizes a stable single balance wheel while accurately replicating the visual presence of the iconic 8 o’clock rose gold bridge, delivering approximately 36 hours of power reserve.
The 41mm case features meticulous alternating brushed and polished finishing across the octagonal bezel and integrated lugs. The slate grey openworked dial is highly accurate to the genuine charcoal tone, with the ‘AUDEMARS PIGUET’ logo executed via high-precision heavy ink printing on the inner sapphire crystal. The baton hands and markers are treated with Super-LumiNova for low-light legibility.
