A Feminine Touch

Audemars Piguet introduces its new take on its women's Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon.

Pursuing refined feminine aesthetics and complicated micro-mechanics, the newly released Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon available in 18-carat pink or white gold versions. 

The new Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon combines the case’s shimmering Frosted Gold finish with a contemporary dial composed of multiple layers. This is the first time that the Swiss brand has released a case adorned with Frosted Gold which is an ancient Florentine jewellery technique revisited by jewellery designer Carolina Bucci and adapted to adorn the Manufacture’s watches. The sparkling case frames a multi-layered dial composed of four juxtaposed circles of increasing size and graded hues of blue emanating from the flying tourbillon cage at 6 o’clock. The absence of hour-markers on the dial ensures a rather simple aesthetic that is superbly impactful.

The new women's Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon is powered by the hand-wound Manufacture calibre 2964 that features a flying tourbillon. The movement’s circular motif, visible through the sapphire caseback recalls the dial’s pattern. The alternation of sandblasting and satin-brushing also echoes the finishes of the Frosted Gold case and sunburst dial. 

The two new models are available in a blue “large square-scale” alligator strap along with an additional blue textured rubber strap with a constellation motif.
