The golden pointer award must be mentioned first, this award is hailed as the heaviest award in this event, designed to recognize the most influential watches in all timepiece categories. The competition for this award is very fierce. Watches such as Athens Freak Next, Bulgari Octo Super Chronograph, Vacheron Constantin Twin Beat, and IWC's large pilot constant-power tourbillon are all strong competitors. In the end, the Golden Pointer won a new milestone released by Audemars Piguet earlier this year: the Royal Oak series ultra-thin self-winding perpetual calendar watch.
The replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ultrathin Perpetual Calendar has a movement thickness of only 2.89 mm and a case thickness of 6.30 mm, making it the world's thinnest self-winding perpetual calendar watch. In order to achieve this extremely slim size, Audemars Piguet integrates the usual three-layer structure of a perpetual calendar movement into a single-layer structure. This is very, very difficult, of course, two patents are indispensable: the end of the month is incorporated into the date gear and the month cam is incorporated into the month gear.
Mr. Francois-Henri Bennahmias, Chief Executive Officer of Audemars Piguet, thanked Audemars Piguet designers, engineers, watchmakers and craftsmen in the award speech and paid tribute to them by challenging themselves and continuously exploring different possibilities. He said: "Audemars Piguet's ability to create such a superb timepiece, to stand on the podium tonight, comes from everyone's joint efforts!"
