Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon Pink Gold / Baguette Diamond

In Context

At 38.5 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. At 11.6 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 20 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 72 hours of reserve puts it well past a weekend — several days off the wrist and it is still going. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

26228OR.ZZ.D011CR.01 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a skeleton dial with a pink gold case. It was a limited edition. Beyond the time it carries a tourbillon.

Hand-wound movement with flying tourbillon and power reserve indicator.
