This Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon Chronograph 26265FO.OO.D002CR.01 has a mechanical manual winding Audemars Piguet caliber 2895 column wheel chronograph movement. It has a tourbillon escapement with over 70 components, a carbon mainplate with anodized aluminum bridges, a green eloxed aluminum central bridge, 34 jewels, 388 components, a PVD coated monometallic balance, and an anti-shock system. It includes a mobile stud balance-spring and variable inertia screws. The mechanism oscillates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz). The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon Chronograph 26265FO.OO.D002CR.01 was released in 2008, one of the first watches to have both the case and components of the movement made out of forged carbon. Only 60 examples were made each year. The Royal Oak Concept line is Audemars Piguet’s playground. Think of it as the equivalent of Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works or Google’s X Development group. Borrowing the idea of a concept car, the line was conceived to give the watchmakers at AP the chance to test the limits of their technical prowess and employ futuristic avant-garde design. The first Concept watch, the CW1 was introduced in 2002 in a limited edition of 150 pieces. The Concept watches all share the same general case design, an ultramodern interpretation of the Royal Oak case, and most don’t just innovate mechanically, but also employ cutting-edge materials like titanium, carbon, and ceramics. The Concept line has been the staging area for a number of tourbillon watches. Driving the display is the 388-component Audemars Piguet Calibre 2895. This in-house, handwound caliber not only features the tourbillon escapement visible from the dial, but the column-wheel chronograph is fully integrated. The balance is PVD coated and features a mobile stud balance-spring and variable inertia screws. The mainplate (which doubles as the dial) is made of carbon and the bridges are anodized aluminum, while the central bridge is greened aluminum. The materials aren’t all that wows here, though. The 34-jewel movement features a double cone power reserve mechanism and twin mainspring barrels for a staggering 10 days of power. That kind of power reserve is welcome in such a watch, as it means the Royal Oak Concept Carbon can fit into a collector’s regular rotation without winding all the way down between wears. The movement beats at 3hz. Audemars Piguet once again stuns the world of horology with its Royal Oak Carbon Concept Tourbillon and Chronograph This model also features an original linear chronograph minute counter. The extremely light timepiece also incorporates the complexity of a 384-part Calibre 2895 tourbillon chronograph movement. - Black case made by forged carbon fibers - an extremely light weight & hard material. - Ceramic bezel, crown & pushers. - Movement mainplate (which doubles as the dial) & the baseplate are made of forged carbon. - The central bridge is green eloxed aluminum - some of which is visible through the case back. - Power Reserve indicator at the 12 o'clock position. The watch has an amazing 10 day power reserve is achieved through the use of 2 barrels. Each barrel is wound by a mere 19.75 turns. Although the use of 2 barrels allow for a power reserve of 290 hours, however, an ingenious locking system - in the low and high winding-level zones - concentrates the running time on a 237-hour period, thereby ensuring optimal operation. Chronograph/Stopwatch function: - Large central sweep seconds counter hand. - An ingenious linear 30 minute counter. The single minutes from 0-9 to the left of the linear counter & immediately to the right 1 & 2 increments indicating when the counter is at 10 or in the 20 minutes counting.

The Tourbillon is secured by a matching bridge to the linear 30 minute chronograph counter lending symmetry to the dial. Founded by Jules Audemars and Edward Piguet in 1875, Audemars Piguet took to the challenge of creating timepieces that combine elegance with mechanical ingenuity. With the launch of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore, the brand proved they did not lose sight of that mission. Considered its most popular model, it is no surprise that the Royal Oak Offshore came out with special models in limited edition. Audemars Piguet is definitely regarded as a top tier watch manufacturer. It is one of the oldest and most established Swiss watchmakers, the company was a partnership between Jules Audemars and Edward Piguet officially formed in 1889. They focused on only high-quality, complex ultra-precise watches. To this day, Audemars Piguet is the oldest watch manufacturer still owned by its founding family. Audemars Piguet watchmakers have long been considered some of the most skilled horology specialists in the world. 'Haute Horology' is the keyword for this brand. Audemars Piguet (often abbreviated to 'AP') debuted their luxury sports watch category in 1972 with the launch of the Royal Oak. Conceived in 1972 by the luxury watch designer Gerald Genta and named after the British Royal Navy battleships, Audemars Piguet's strong and substantial Royal Oak watch collection has proven itself a classic icon throughout the years. Among the luxury Swiss watchmaking triumvirate that also includes Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet undoubtedly pushes the boundaries of design and innovation furthest.
