The BBS factory has recently unveiled its latest masterpiece: the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Tourbillon, model number 26530ST.OO.1220ST.01. This watch is a testament to the Swiss luxury watch brand’s commitment to excellence, combining the latest in-house developed movement, Calibre 2950, with a floating tourbillon and a central automatic rotor.

The Royal Oak traditionally features a ‘Tapisserie’ pattern on its dial, but in this new model, the design has been innovatively transformed into a radial pattern emanating from the tourbillon at the 6 o’clock position. The case measures 41mm in diameter and 12.5mm in thickness, embodying a perfect balance of elegance and robustness.

In recent years, sports watches have shifted from being entry-level options to becoming mainstream, attracting the attention of high-end consumers. However, not all sports watches meet the expectations of these discerning buyers. The Royal Oak Selfwinding Tourbillon fills a unique niche in the market, offering a sophisticated blend of luxury, complexity, and durability that is rare among major brands today.

The tourbillon is a hallmark of complex watchmaking, providing a striking visual effect and enhancing the watch’s practical functionality with its self-winding mechanism. This watch has captured the attention of collectors and enthusiasts, filling a void in the high-end sports watch market and establishing itself as a must-have piece for those seeking both style and substance.
