2019 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted White Gold 41mm 15410BC.GG

The “GG” stands for “grains de glace”, or “frosted” finish — a signature treatment by Audemars Piguet using a Florentine hammering technique. This detail marks the watch’s shimmering texture and differentiates it from other Royal Oak models.

The frosted effect is achieved by hand-hammering tiny indentations into the surface of the white gold, creating a sparkle similar to diamond dust. It's surprisingly durable and resistant to hairline scratches, making it ideal for refined wear without compromising resilience.

While it doesn’t include added complications, it houses the selfwinding caliber 3120, known for its precision, 60-hour power reserve, and beautifully finished 22k gold rotor—visible through the sapphire caseback.

Despite the intricate texture, the frosted finish does not reduce the weight; the solid white gold case and bracelet maintain a luxurious heft, while the fine finish actually enhances the tactile feel, making it distinctly grippier and more tactile than polished models.

This reference is considered highly collectible due to its limited production, unique finishing, and pure white gold build. Its rarity and artisanal value have made it a modern icon in AP’s contemporary design lineage, appealing to both collectors and avant-garde enthusiasts.
