Audemars Piguet Taps Tamara Ralph for a Couture-Inspired Royal Oak Concept
Unveiled at the designer’s Spring/Summer 2024 Haute Couture show in Paris.
The latest Audemars Piguet timepiece sees the prestigious Maison joining hands with luxury fashion designer Tamara Ralph for a limited-edition Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon time-teller. Debuted at Ralph’s Spring/Summer 2024 Paris Haute Couture show yesterday, the timepiece serves as an amalgamation of Haute Horlogerie and Haute Couture.
In terms of appearance, the watch encapsulates AP’s emblematic design codes as well as Ralph’s feminine, bold and timelessly elegant aesthetics. Framed inside the 18-carat frosted pink gold case is a multi-layered dial in varying tones of brown, bronze, and gold that nods to Ralph’s creations. Sitting on the 6 o’clock position is the flying tourbillon that mirrors the dial’s textured detailing with a cage that consists of 4 overlapping circular pink gold plates.
Beating at the heart of the time-teller is AP’s Calibre 2964, a hand-wound movement made up of 207 parts, 17 jewels and a power reserve of 72 hours. Completing the shimmering and elegant timepiece is a pearly bronze-huge alligator strap in a “large square scale” look and an additional pearlescent finish brown alligator strap.
The Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon “Tamara Ralph” Limited Edition is released in a limited run of 100 examples and is now open for inquiry via Audemars Piguet.
