Read Conditions of Sale
The tourbillon, a specialty of Audemars Piguet, first graced the Royal Oak in 1997 to celebrate the model's 25th anniversary. The classic architecture of the tourbillon cage features bridges at the front, but today, the latest evolution is revealed with an automatic flying tourbillon movement. The remarkable cal. 2950 is the first to combine a self-winding mechanism with a flying tourbillon architecture, a complication previously seen in the Royal Oak Concept line. Audemars Piguet has truly integrated this "concept" into the Royal Oak collection.

Fitted with an attractive sandblasted slate grey dial, it differs from the usual “Tapisserie” pattern but offers an understated and modern aesthetics to the watch. Adding to its allure, the light and robust titanium case exudes a captivating dark hue, enhancing the dial's visual impact. Undoubtedly a remarkable piece of craftsmanship and extremely wearable, this watch is further kept in excellent condition with minimal wear and complete with its full set of accessories.
