A greatly coveted brand among luxury fake watch fans for its cult-favorite Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet replica has just appointed Patrick Ottoman as the new CEO for North America, which suggests the brand’s goal is to become more fashionable in the USA and broaden its appeal to a wider audience than just hard-core collectors. 
AP North America’s new Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Ottoman does not come from the watch world interestingly enough but was formerly CEO of Berluti, the ultra-luxe Parisian shoe brand established in 1895, whose famous clients over the years have included everyone from Marcel Proust and the Duke of Windsor, to Andy Warhol and Jeremy Irons. Audemars Piguet fans such as Jay-Z, LeBron James, Patrick Dempsey, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mark Wahlberg, and Tom Cruise.
Now located in Audemars’ New York City office, Ottoman replaces Antonio Seward and reports directly to Yves Meylan, AP’s Chief Commercial Officer, in Le Brassus, Switzerland. Before Berluti, Ottoman served tenures in the luxury hospitality industry according to AP. He joined Berluti as Chief Executive Officer in 1993, when LVMH acquired the brand, and later served as U.S. Managing Director of Berluti USA, where he established the brand in the United States in 2005 and remained with the company until last year.
Since LVMH owns a handful of luxury replica watch brands including Zenith, Hublot, and TAG Heuer, we can surmise that Ottoman may have come into connection with that side of the business and perhaps participated in some joint marketing strategies which might serve him well in his new capacity.
“I am very glad to take part in a family-owned company with an equally respected reputation after many years spent at a brand considered a leader in its category,” Ottoman said in a statement. “Audemars Piguet is one of the few manufacturers in the replica watches industry today dedicated to the fundamental values of craftsmanship. Joining the team is not only an honor but also stands for a great chance to be a part of a family.”

The newest newcomer from the replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak collection is a very impressive piece, made by the traditional watchmaking values. It is made with a yellow gold housing with a width of 41 mm and features a case and a strap with sophisticated alternating finishes that make its “package” quite stunning, even though you are not that big a fan of this particular material. The most important is that the self-winding piece is made with one of the most valued complications with a perpetual calendar. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar comes with a very nice fantastic moon phase indication and even a week display. The watch will be premiered at the next edition of the SIHH show at the beginning of the next year, so there is still no official information about its pricing. 
The novelty by the fake Audemars Piguet is definitely a top-shelf watch that demonstrates the values and the beauty of top-end horology products. It is placed inside a Royal Oak characteristic housing which features a curved octagon bezel that is fixed with eight hexagonal screws. The case and the stationary bezel are made of 18 K gold. Its diameter is 41 mm, and it is 9.5 mm in thickness, which places the watch among “ultra-thin” pieces. Both the case and the bezel feature cute alternating finishes that make the watch rather striking. Their front sides are brushed, while the edges are beveled and polished for an additional appeal.
When it comes to the crystal, the Audemars Piguet replica naturally used sapphire with anti-reflective treatment which is likewise visible on the rear transparent section of the case. As for the water resistance, the piece with a screwed-in crown with the engraving of the brand’s logo is safe to just 20 meters. This permits just minimal protection that guards the replica watches against potential water which will be in contact with when it rains or when the wearer washes his hands.
The case and the dial are manufactured amazingly, with special features and craftsmanship. In addition to the central hour and minute display, five calendar indications can be on the face of the new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar piece. Four of them are made as sub-counters and they are decorated with a circularly grained model. The top one of them indicates the current month and a four-year cycle to show whether it is a leap year or not.
Naturally, the movement indicates a host of demanding and manually performed decorations, while the manufacturer also allows customized beautification of the oscillating weight of its self-winding system.
In summary, it should be said that the newcomer with a perpetual calendar feature comes with the three-link bracelet which is made in the same material, also with the same finishes as the case.
