Audemars Piguet watch
As a famous Swiss watch brand, Audemars Piguet has always been quite influential in the watch industry. It has pioneered tourbillon and hollow design and is a recognized pioneer in the industry. As early as the 1930s, Audemars Piguet began to experiment with hollow designs. In the watch industry at the time, such an avant-garde design concept was almost unheard of.
We all know that the design of the tourbillon is to improve the accuracy of the watch. Audemars Piguet launched the flying tourbillon series of watches, which can be said to have taken this technology to the extreme. The flying tourbillon rotates once per minute. The tourbillon that originally required two upper and lower support bridges to be fixed now only uses the main plywood to support the frame. The upper support bridge has been directly cancelled. The entire flying tourbillon looks more dynamic and lighter.
In terms of movement, this watch uses Audemars Piguet’s own Caliber 2972 movement, with a vibration frequency of 21,600 times per hour and a power reserve of 65 hours. Different from previous movements, this movement is equipped with an automatic oscillating weight exclusive to the 50th anniversary edition, and the material is directly made of 22K rose gold, which raises the value of the entire watch to another level.
As the 50th anniversary work of the Audemars Piguet brand, this Royal Oak series self-winding floating tourbillon skeleton watch (model 26735ST.OO.1320ST.02) can be said to be quite landmark. It not only carries the brand’s 50-year history, but also represents the hope for the next 50 years. It is a symbol of Audemars Piguet’s brand spirit and craftsmanship.
Watch features
The 41mm case of this watch is made of fine steel, which is a relatively regular size among the entire watch. However, because its movement adopts a hollow design, it will visually feel lighter and will not burden the wearer.
The bezel adopts a classic octagonal porthole-shaped design with eight hexagonal screws, which is very recognizable. The entire watch case has been polished with top-notch craftsmanship and has an extremely high gloss. Even when exposed to sunlight, it will not be dazzling. It can be said that this watch is not only a master of technology, but also a symbol of the Audemars Piguet brand spirit and craftsmanship.
In 1997, Audemars Piguet introduced tourbillon technology into the Royal Oak series for the first time, which can be said to be a pioneer. The release of this watch 26 years later marks that Audemars Piguet has become more and more stable on this road, going further and further, becoming a true industry leader.
Conclusion
Audemars Piguet’s Flying Tourbillon Skeleton Watch is more than just a watch, it is a perfect combination of art and technology.
