The stainless steel Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon with an openworked dial and bracelet, reference 26735ST.OO.1320ST.01, was made to mark the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary, and this superb replica of the watch does a good job of capturing that haute horlogerie landmark. This watch is the very first Openworked Selfwinding Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon and is powered by the new Calibre 2972, an automatic movement which is modern in both its appearance and its build.
The openworked dial, with its rhodium finish, shows off the complex mechanism underneath, and this replica replicates the exposed structure with true depth, featuring the white gold applied hour markers and the luminescent hands, exactly matching the proportions of the real 26735ST.OO.1320ST.01. The mirror polished lugs and countersinks stand in contrast to the straight grained bridges, giving a monochromatic effect, and this construction maintains the high horological finishing that is found in the original.
The case, made of stainless steel, maintains the proportions of the classic Royal Oak at 41 mm and is only 10.6 mm thick, an unusually slim depth considering the complexity and three dimensional nature of the movement, and this design faithfully reproduces the slender and refined shape. The flying tourbillon escapement, which can be seen through the sapphire caseback together with the rhodium coloured rotor, reflects Audemars Piguet’s dedication to combining real technical expertise with the iconic design language of the Royal Oak.
This replica bracelet reflects the watch brand’s most recent design change, having larger polished chamfers and thinner, lighter links to give it a more slender appearance, and it also retains the AP folding clasp mechanism similar to the original. The way it’s constructed prevents the light or hollow sensation that is present in more inexpensive replicas and thus matches the weight and durability one would normally expect from a real Audemars Piguet watch.
If you are looking for a Royal Oak replica which marks a real achievement in haute horlogerie and commemorates the 50th anniversary of this famous collection, then the Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked 26735ST.OO.1320ST.01 is an exceptional choice worthy of collection. Join your collection now with a piece that brings together technical expertise and true horological history.
