Introduced at the 2016 SIHH, the double balance wheel skeletonized movement powering this model took the market by surprise. A patented Audemars Piguet innovation, the main idea consists of adding a second balance wheel and spiral to the escapement, thus increasing the timekeeping capabilities and resistance to mechanical perturbations thanks to increased momentum. As what happens with many groundbreaking ideas, the basic concept was simple but the execution of it turned out to be devilishly complicated. All efforts Audemars Piguet poured in the conception of this model were however definitely not in vain. Not only they achieved to develop a novel solution, but furthermore the dual superimposed wheels turned out to be a striking aesthetic element, allowing the balance wheel to appear completely unobstructed on both dial side and movement side.

As a result, it is not surprising that the model has become one of the most sought-after Audemars Piguet creations. Phillips is proud to offer an absolutely mint and unworn example - still retaining its plastic protection and factory stickers - of this masterpiece, and even more proud to be able to do so for a good cause:
