Audemars Piguet Actually Made The Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked in White Ceramic, And A Few Lucky People Already Have One
Audemars Piguet has produced the Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked in white ceramic, a piece that was initially designed as a unique item for the OnlyWatch charity auction. After the watch was withdrawn from the auction due to criticism, demand from collectors led to its production, resulting in a limited run of 50 pieces. The watch features distinct blue accents against the white ceramic, showcasing a sophisticated design that merges functionality with artistry. The 41mm timepiece boasts a skeletonized movement, offering a view of its intricate mechanics. It runs on the Caliber 2972, which provides a 65-hour power reserve and operates at 3Hz. The craftsmanship involves a combination of CNC production and meticulous hand finishing, emphasizing Audemars Piguet's commitment to high-quality watchmaking. Although the retail price remains undisclosed, it is speculated to be in line with other luxury offerings from the brand, such as the Sand Gold version priced at $270,000.
