The Audemars Piguet watches have a reputation for being high quality luxury watches. Some celebrities and professional athletes are big fans of the Audemars Piguet timepieces. They include Chace Crawford, Celine Dion, Hugh Jackman, and, one of their biggest ambassadors, Lebron James (pictured below).

Audemars Piguet is a company that focuses on family loyalty and celebrates love. How can you not want to support this company? If you  like Audemars Piguet’s message and want to give their products a try, then you might want a timepiece from their popular Jules Audemars collection. One cool piece from it is the Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars 151590R.ZZ.D002CR.01.

Flawless craftsmanship with a touch of care makes this piece beautiful.

Some of the great features of  the Jules Audemars 151590R.ZZ.D002CR.01 are:

• Diamonds covering the entire piece
• Glare proofed sapphire crystal
• Arabic numerals clock
• Crocodile 18K gold folding clasp
• Stop balance when setting time
• Water-resistant to 20 meters
• It’s hand-stitches on the straps
• Contains 40 jewels

This wristwatch grabs you from first glance. It has great simple features, ones that make it modern and classic. For example, staying true to the traditional watch style with a numerical clock, but also adding modernistic extras with the shining gold and diamonds. It’s a watch anyone with a taste for the finer things in life will love.

If this watch is a little too yellow gold for you, then you’ll be happy to know the Jules Audemars 15159BC.ZZ.D002CR.01 has nearly the same exact design as the 151590R.ZZ.D002CR.01. The only difference between the watches, style and feature wise, is the white gold on the 15159BC.ZZ.D002CR.01 and yellow gold on the 15159OR.ZZ.D002CR.01. They also cost a little different in pricing.  The 15159OR.ZZ.D002CR.01 retails for $110,500 and the 15159BC.ZZ.D002.CR.01 is $113,700. They really are very similar watches, so what do you want yellow gold or white gold?

The Jules Audemars 15159OR.ZZ.D002CR.01 really has some strong pros, but just as strong cons. Here are a few of them:

Pros

• The diamonds really standout, but they’re small so it doesn’t overpower the piece
• The watch has numeral numbers, instead of Roman numbers, so this makes it simple to tell the time
• The crocodile strap makes it unusual from many typical watches
• The black numbers and strap really pop compared to the yellow gold and white diamonds.

Cons

• The diamonds being so small, it’s likely they may fall out of the watch over time
• The gold on the watch might make it standout too much for a person of simple style
• The crocodile strap could cause  rashes on sensitive skin
• The blending of the yellow gold and diamond kind of do not blend well together, especially compared to the blending of white gold and diamonds.

This watch is gorgeous for women that really like their jewelry to pop. The Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars 151590R.ZZ.D002CR.01 is really great, but I personally think the Jules Audemars 15159BC.ZZ.D002CR.01 works better with this design.  All the diamonds make it hard to wear and not show your level of wealth.  So this really is a watch for those that like to make sure their jewelry strikes envy in the eyes of others.  If you are a girl of simple style then skip this one, and search for another in the Jules Audemars collection.
