R8.factory’s Interpretation of the Best ‘Tourbillon’: 2020 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon V2 Upgrade Edition, Limited Arrival. Model 26522CE.00.1220TI.01

Special announcement for this upgrade: both the white case and black case feature upgraded platinum screws on the balance wheel, consistent with the original; the rose gold version retains the bimetallic screw balance wheel.

Audemars Piguet continues its path of innovation and exploration, unveiling a new ultra-thin Royal Oak Tourbillon timepiece at the Geneva Salon. The iconic ‘Tapisserie’ pattern is reimagined into a new radial design, offering a fresh visual experience. The sunburst dial radiates from the tourbillon at 6 o’clock, with the guilloché motif gradually increasing in size from center to edge, creating an elegant gradient effect. The radiant pattern is dazzling and exceptionally beautiful. The textured dial is paired with three-dimensional luminous hands crafted from platinum, featuring Swiss super-luminous material that ensures excellent legibility even in complete darkness, greatly enhancing practicality. The case measures 41 mm in diameter and just 10.6 mm in thickness. It houses a custom-made true bridge 2924 tourbillon movement—the thinnest AP tourbillon movement currently available on the market—with a power reserve of 70 hours. This exceptional tourbillon timepiece has therefore earned widespread admiration and attention among watch enthusiasts.
