Catalogue Essay
With the present Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra Thin in a flamboyant pink gold livery, Audemars Piguet gives a new meaning to casual chic.
The Royal Oak has, from its inception in 1972, been a rule breaker. It was the very first “sports” or luxury leisure watch from a haute horlogerie brand. Ten years later it was the first “sports” watch to offer a complication seen until then only in dress watches: a perpetual calendar.
With the present model, Audemars Piguet merges many elements of its history to create a highly complex piece injected with cool cat attitude.
The caliber used in this watch is the Audemars Piguet caliber 2924 measuring 31,50mm wide and 4,46mm thick offering a 70h power reserve. This is not only a nod to the automatic caliber 2121 used in the original Royal Oak, which was at the time the thinnest automatic caliber in production, but also to a tourbillon that it had created in the late 1980s that was, at the time, the slimmest of its kind.
In excellent condition the present watch is a stunning example of the versatility and diversity of the Royal Oak.
