Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Rainbow" Concept Flying Tourbillon
Audemars Piguet's Concept series has been at the very forefront of mechanical watch design since the turn of the millennium. Their history of gem setting is second to none, and their production of the self-winding tourbillon wristwatch is venerated in the industry. Combining this expertise in one dazzling timepiece is no mean feat, but the Concept Flying Tourbillon “Rainbow” again proves AP's mastery of the craft. With 468 gemstones of 12 different types having all been colour matched, graded, and set with precision, including on the front of the lightweight flying tourbillon cage itself. The 38mm white gold case curves elegantly and hugs the wrist tightly, right through to the gem set folding clasp. Sourced from a private collector, this 26227BC is currently the only example available for sale internationally, and comes complete with the original box, warranty card, additional rubber strap, and booklets._________________________________________________
