Combining excellent double balance technology, artistic skeletonization, and Royal Oak's classic design elements, this Royal Oak double balance watch received a very enthusiastic response when it was launched in 2016. Unlike the previous Millenary series or the 2010 escapement, it utilizes a reverse double balance spring to improve the isochronous design. This double balance technology is built upon the 3120 movement and uses two sets of coaxial reverse independent escapement systems to compensate for the azimuth difference of the escapement system due to the influence of gravity. The precise frequency can be coordinated through the differential. It can be said that this is an economic solution to replace the tourbillon. Although the design of the double escapement will cause relatively large power consumption, the power reserve of the 3132 movement is still maintained at the level of 45 hours, perfect for daily use.
The 41mm pink gold case features a predominantly brushed finish, with contrasting high-polished finishes to the bezel flank and between each bracelet link. The exceptionally finely finished movement and centrally mounted rotor are visible through the exhibition case back.
