About this watch
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra-Thin Watch - 26516PT.ZZ.1220PT.01
Powered by Audemars Piguet's ultra-thin automatic tourbillon movement, this white gold Royal Oak demonstrates the manufacture's mastery over one of horology's most challenging complications, housed within the iconic octagonal case that revolutionized luxury sports watches in 1972. The smoked grey dial creates a sophisticated contrast against the precious metal case, while the exposed tourbillon at 6 o'clock transforms what was once a purely functional regulating mechanism into mesmerizing visual theater. Reference 26516PT.ZZ.1220PT.01 represents the pinnacle of the Royal Oak collection, combining Genta's legendary design with contemporary haute horlogerie complications. This unworn example showcases the technical prowess that has made Audemars Piguet synonymous with tourbillon innovation since the complication's integration into their ultra-thin movements.
