Description
The Royal Oak Self-winding Flying Tourbillon Titanium is a luxury watch that combines cutting-edge technology with classic design. The use of titanium in the case and bracelet make it both lightweight and durable.
Audemars Piguet launched its first tourbillon watch in 1997 for its 25th anniversary, which was followed by a series of manual winding tourbillons. This present reference breaks away from the tradition and introduces the first self-winding tourbillon from the Royal Oak line
The trademark tapisserie dial is absent and gives space to a sandblasted slate grey dial, complemented by an outer minute ring finished in “snailing.” AP opted for a case and bracelet made of ultra-light Titanium with the same aesthetic finish with the hand-polished and satin-brushed titanium bracelet
For its main highlight, flying tourbillon, which is a type of tourbillon that is not attached to a bridge, making it appear as if it is floating in mid-air. The tourbillon’s cage is clearly visible at the 6 o’clock position, captivating the eye and offering a glance at the movement inside the watch. The central hands and hour markers are applied in white gold while the Audemars Piguet signature is inscribed three-dimensionally using the complex galvanic growth technique
On the inside is the self-winding Calibre 2950 offering a 65hr power reserve. Thanks to the sapphire case back, the movement of the watch can be admired
Available now full set with 5 year warranty.
