Lot Essay
This incredibly impressive openworked Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph with matching pink gold Royal Oak bracelet is one of the masterpieces of Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak collection.
Almost impossible to obtain, it was available exclusively at Audemars Piguet boutiques and at Material Good in New York City. The present watch is, to the best of our knowledge, the first pink gold example ever to be offered at international auction. Introduced in 2017 and made in an edition limited to only 25 pieces in 18k pink gold and 25 pieces in titanium, the intricacy and beauty of the Tourbillon movement can be fully appreciated through the ruthenium-toned openworked dial, the glazed sapphire case back allows for an equally impressive view. The hour markers and Royal Oak-style hands are made of gold and coated with Super-LumiNova. The exceptionally finished and elegant in-house movement, manual-winding Caliber 2936, has 28 jewels and a power reserve of 72 hours.
