Royal Oak 50 Years: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Self-winding Flying Tourbillon and Skeleton – 41mm
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet today launched a series of new tourbillon models, equipped with new movements and new design elements. The four new anniversary watches also include, for the first time, a 41mm skeletonized Royal Oak self-winding flying tourbillon.Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon Openworked 26735ST.OO.1320ST.01
In addition, the Swiss haute horlogerie manufacturer has launched three new versions of the 41mm self-winding Royal Oak featuring a flying tourbillon in stainless steel, titanium and rose gold. They complement the first three models in the collection from 2020, the first Royal Oak models to feature a flying tourbillon.
The case and bracelet of the Royal Oak Automatic Flying Tourbillon Skeleton are made of stainless steel. On the other three models, they are made of stainless steel, titanium and rose gold. The 41mm case and bracelet of the new tourbillon model feature larger bevels that enhance the reflection of light between saturated and polished surfaces. The first four links of the one-piece bracelet are slightly narrower than the other links. This also ensures that the watch is lighter and therefore more comfortable to wear. The sapphire crystal case back has been integrated into the middle of the case, allowing the watch to fit better on the wrist. The proportions of the hour markers and hands have been revised and are now consistent across the Royal Oak collection.high quality replica watches
The three new models of the Royal Oak Self-Winding Flying Tourbillon 41mm are all signed by Audemars Piguet in 24-karat yellow gold, as we already know from Audemars Piguet's Code 11.59 collection. It is produced through an electroplating process - a chemical process in which an extremely thin layer of 24-karat gold is superimposed. This produces a very special 3-D effect. The letters are connected by thin lines that are almost invisible to the naked eye.
In the new Royal Oak Skeleton Self-winding Flying Tourbillon, every component has been treated according to all the rules of Haute Horlogerie, including the "special tire", satin finish, round and sunburst brushed, snailed Shaped and polished chamfers. The exposed flying tourbillon is located at 6 o'clock. It is only supported by the motherboard.

The dials of the three new Royal Oak Self-Winding Flying Tourbillons feature a smoky blue tone. The titanium model features a sandblasted dial and is now an alternative to the traditional Tapisserie pattern found in the Royal Oak collection. White gold hands and indexes stand out against the dark blue dial.mens replica watch
The dials of the stainless steel and rose gold models feature the Grand Tapisserie motif. The cases and bracelets of all models are hand-polished, with alternating saturated and polished surfaces. The combination of matte and shiny surfaces has become a distinguishing feature of the brand.
The Royal Oak Self-Winding Flying Tourbillon Skeleton is now powered by the new calibre 2972, which combines a central rotor and a flying tourbillon. Its basis is the calibre 2950 introduced in Code 11.59 from the 2019 Audemars Piguet collection. The technique of the skeletonized movement is to remove as much material as possible from the main plate and bridges. The geometry of the main and bridge plates is pre-milled with a CNC machine and then refined with the help of electro-erosion (EDM). It allows very targeted removal of trace amounts of material.Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 45 AB01821A1B1X2
The other three non-skeleton models are powered by the self-winding in-house calibre 2950, which combines a flying tourbillon with a central oscillating weight. Launched in 2018, the Royal Oak Concept is the first Audemars Piguet watch to feature this feature. The tourbillon cage is visible from the dial and sapphire crystal caseback and is finished by hand. The "Geneva stripes" in this movement are straight and non-radiating, as they remain on the 2020 model. Other decorations on the movement include satin finishes, spiral bevels and hand-polished bevels.
The new Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon 2022 models are equipped with a 22-karat rose gold anniversary rotor. Stainless steel and titanium models have a rhodium-plated finish. The "50 Years" logo and the words AP are engraved on the surface of the oscillating weight. CEO Bennahmias said that all Royal Oak models produced before December 31, 2022 will be equipped with the rotor. The four models have a power reserve of 65 hours.replica Zenith El Primero Revival
