As Rare As They Come…… Limited to an Exclusive 25 Pieces! Audemars Piguet once again stuns the world of horology with its ROYAL OAK TOURBILLON CHRONOGRAPH “RESTIVOâ€? in Rose Gold. This watch is the largest model produced in the 46mm Offshore Case….. Limited & Numbered to a Super Exclusive 25 Pieces! One of the most beautifully crafted timepieces available by one of the most prestigious watch-makers today. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph watch is an exquisite example of haute de gamme watchmaking. Audemars Piguet has taken the celebrated form of the Royal Oak watch and enriched it with the most celebrated complication in all of watchmaking. The tourbillon, invented at the turn of the 19th century, represented an ingenious triumph over the negative effects of gravity upon the escapement of pocket watches. At the same time, virtually overnight, the tourbillon came to represent a pinnacle of horlogical technique that only an accomplished handful of watchmakers were capable of realizing. Of course, the house of Audemars Piguet, in its rich 125-year plus history, has made elite complications such as the tourbillon an integral part of their repertoire, producing some of the most beautiful ever made. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph watch is animated by a manually wound movement whose balance wheel beats at a pace of 21,600 vibrations per hour. The tourbillon completes a single rotation each hour, as its cage bears the balance wheel, and the components of the escapement. The chronograph mechanism, enriched with a 30-minutes counter, is fully integrated into the movement architecture (as opposed to being modular) and is controlled by the traditional means of a column wheel; this method is de rigeur on the finest chronograph watches, and ensures that the action of the chronograph mechanism is of the utmost smoothness and precision.
