The latest generation of Audemars Piguet’s in-house calibre. The Calibre 2950 combines a floating tourbillon with a central automatic oscillating weight in a subtle blend of technical and aesthetic refinement, demonstrating the Audemars Piguet know-how that has been passed down through the generations.
The Royal Oak’s classic “Tapisserie” dial has changed from a crisscross pattern to a new design with the tourbillon at 6 o’clock radiating outwards from the centre, and a case diameter of 41 mm and a thickness of 12.5 mm.
In the past, sports watches were regarded as practical entry models, but in recent years, as sports watches have jumped into the mainstream of the market, peak consumers have also begun to shift their attention to the field of sports watches, and at this time, if they only have the basic functions, sometimes it may not be able to satisfy the expectations and needs of such players, but when we look at the market at present, among the works of sports watches launched by major brands, like the Royal Oak Tourbillon automatic, which takes into account the sense of sophistication, complexity and durability is still relatively few works. However, if we look at the sports watches launched by major brands in the market, we can see that the Royal Oak Automatic Tourbillon is still a relatively small number of works that combine a sense of sophistication, complexity and durability. The Tourbillon has its representation in the field of complication, coupled with a strong visual effect and a self-winding mechanism that can add to the watch’s practicability, and its emergence has just made up for the lack of this kind of high-class complication sports watches in the market at the moment.
