To mark the 30th anniversary of the iconic Royal Oak in 2002, Audemars Piguet introduced The Concept: a platform for debuting avant-garde designs and experimenting with cutting-edge materials while pushing the boundaries of micro mechanics.
Since its inception many of Audemars Piguet's now iconic pieces has been born from the Concept. From the Black Panther Flying Tourbillon to the Laptimer Michael Schumacher, the Concept has been at the interception of high horology and the cultural zeitgeist.
Unveiled in 2018, the present Reference 26589IO.OO.D002CA.01 Royal Oak Concept combines flying tourbillon and dual time zone complications with a striking semi-skeletonized dial. Crafted in a sizeable 44mm titanium case with a ceramic bezel and paired with a black rubber strap, the design is chic and contemporary. The self-winding Caliber AP 2954 at center of this timepiece boasts a remarkable 237-hour power reserve and a water resistance of up to 100 meters, making it the perfect partner for everyday activities.
