What is a frosted AP?

A frosted AP is an Audemars Piguet watch with a certain finish. Specifically, the term refers to frosted gold, a metal that has been put through a painstaking micro-hammering process. The finishing technique creates many tiny indentations on the surface of the watch case, and these micro-grooves reflect light, lending a diamond-like sparkle to the timepiece.
