Launched in 1972, Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak was the world’s first stainless steel luxury sports watch with a fully integrated bracelet. The model became an icon, and the brand soon expanded the Royal Oak collection with the first perpetual calendar model released opening day of the Basel Fair in 1984. 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 caliber 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. The first Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon was introduced in 2020.

The present Flying Tourbillon Royal Oak is a highly attractive example with light weight Titanium case and sublime modern sandblasted slate grey dial, which has replaced the typical Grande Tapisserie pattern. The watch has a sleek contemporary sporty feel making it an extremely wearable timepiece. Audemars Piguet is coveted by collectors for their craftsmanship and attention to detail, and the present watch embodies the standard of excellence of the brand.

The watch is offered in virtually like-new condition complete with its original accessories and is an opportunity to own a superb example of one of the most iconic watches in the market today.
