The BBS Factory has unveiled its latest creation, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Self-Winding Tourbillon Watch, model 26530ST.OO.1220ST.01. This exquisite timepiece from the Swiss luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet represents the pinnacle of watchmaking artistry and innovation.
Featuring the brand’s latest generation in-house movement, Calibre 2950, the watch seamlessly combines a floating tourbillon with a central self-winding rotor. The design beautifully merges technical prowess with aesthetic brilliance, showcasing Audemars Piguet’s legacy of craftsmanship that spans generations.
The Royal Oak’s iconic “Tapisserie” patterned dial has been transformed with a fresh design emanating from the 6 o’clock tourbillon, set within a case that measures 41mm in diameter and 12.5mm thick.
While sports watches were traditionally seen as entry-level practical timepieces, the recent rise in popularity has shifted the focus of high-end consumers towards this category. However, among the big brands, few manage to balance luxury, complexity, and durability like the Royal Oak Self-Winding Tourbillon. Its tourbillon represents sophistication in complex functions, delivering strong visual impact, and the self-winding mechanism enhances practicality.
This watch fills a niche in the market for high-end complex sports watches, capturing the attention of collectors and enthusiasts eager for something truly unique.
