This model is renowned for its unique two-tone design, combining 18k yellow gold and 18k white gold elements. Unlike traditional two-tone watches that typically feature a yellow gold bezel and center links, the 6023AC showcases a yellow gold case and outer bracelet links, complemented by a white gold octagonal bezel and white gold center bracelet links, offering a reversed two-tone appearance. Unusually for a Royal Oak, the dial is flat gold, not the more common signature ‘Tapissary’ style, and is set with diamond indexes.
