It is the tourbillon that captures your attention of this Royal Oak. The tourbillon is one of the most prestigious and fascinating complications in watchmaking.

 

A tourbillon is a mechanical complication designed to improve the accuracy of a watch by counteracting the effects of gravity. It was invented by the legendary watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1795 and patented in 1801. The tourbillon places the watch’s escapement and balance wheel in a rotating cage. This cage typically completes one full rotation per minute. By constantly changing the position of these components, the tourbillon averages out positional errors caused by gravity, which can affect the accuracy of the watch. It is mesmerising to watch.

 

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph is a testament to the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. Its combination of aesthetic appeal, mechanical complexity, and exclusivity makes it a standout choice for watch enthusiasts.
