Audemars Piguet expanded its iconic Royal Oak collection in 2003 with the introduction of the reference 25977, a highly sophisticated chronograph tourbillon produced in extremely limited numbers until 2013. The present example, reference 25977OR.OO.D002CR.01, is housed in a striking 18k pink gold case and powered by the hand-wound caliber 2889, Audemars Piguet’s first-ever tourbillon chronograph movement.
The combination of tourbillon and chronograph complications demands precise engineering due to the high torque required from the mainspring. Audemars Piguet met this challenge with masterful execution, underscoring the brand’s reputation for technical innovation and uncompromising craftsmanship.
This exceptional timepiece not only represents a milestone in the Royal Oak lineage but also embodies the brand’s enduring commitment to horological excellence.
