Almost all sapphire on the market has been heat-treated to improve colour, a practice so universal that untreated material commands a premium purely for being untouched. A set of matched baguettes for a dial and a bracelet is where that distinction starts to matter, because consistency across dozens of stones is what is being bought.

The white gold case measures 37 mm with a gem-set bezel. The white gold dial is set with baguette-cut blue sapphires and carries white gold Royal Oak hands. The watch is completed on a white gold bracelet set with baguette-cut blue sapphires with an AP folding clasp. Blue is the colour the Royal Oak has carried since 1972, and rendering it in stone rather than in lacquer is the conceit of the reference.
