Audemars Piguet To Offer An Openworked Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon for Only Watch 2023

Audemars Piguet has unfolded its participating time-teller for this year’s Only Watch auction: the Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon Openworked Only Watch Edition.

The dedicated timepiece is a demonstration of what the Maison does best, featuring a pristine 41mm ceramic case with a matching bracelet. Providing a bold yet complementing contrast to its all-white construction, the openworked dial is doused in a vivid blue hue and accentuated with touches of white gold and magenta. The handset and hour markers are applied with white gold, topped with a luminescent coating.

The intricately-crafted caliber 2972 is geared with a Flying tourbillon along with the essential timekeeping functions. Boasting a 65-hour power reserve, the piece is also able to withstand up to 50 meters underwater.

Estimated to fetch between 300,000 – 500,000 CHF (approximately $333,813 – $556,355 USD), the timepiece will be auctioned off at this year’s Only Watch in Geneva on November 5.
