Combining excellent double balance technology, skeletonizing artistry and Royal Oak's classic design elements, this Royal Oak double balance watch received a very enthusiastic response when it was launched in 2016.
Different from the previous Millenary series or the 2010 escapement, the reverse double balance spring was used to improve the isochronous design. This double balance technology built upon the 3120 movement, and uses two sets of coaxial reverse independent escapement system equipped to compensate 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 it 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 and perfect for daily use.
Presented in superb condition and coming with its original accessories, this lot represents a perfect opportunity to acquire this modern icon of the legendary Royal Oak.
