Audemars PAudemars Piguet has been making ultra-thin tourbillons for a while now. Somewhat similar to the Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra-Thin Openworked that we talked about earlier (see here) is the newly released Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra-Thin, for the first time seen in platinum Originally released in 2012 at SIHH this elegant and understated design is favored by vintage and modern watch lovers alike (and the CEO of Audemars Piguet, François Bennahmias). And now, it's available in platinum, for the first time.
Originally released in pink gold and stainless steel, the newest version is available exclusively in platinum. Everything here is he same with the exception of the case material and dial color, which is now a beautiful smoked grey. The watch continues to use the caliber 2924 manual-winding movement, which remains a very slim tourbillon movement and allows for the watch to wear very comfortably.
This watch continues to be one of the coolest tourbillon wristwatches out there, with a thin profile and great design added now into the most noble of all metals – platinum. Pricing will be $281,500 and quantities will be very, very low. For more information on Audemars Piguet, you can visit their website here.
