The BBS factory has unveiled its latest release: the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Tourbillon watch, model number 26530ST.OO.1220ST.01. This prestigious Swiss watch brand, Audemars Piguet, introduces a new addition to its Royal Oak series, featuring an automatic floating tourbillon. It is powered by Audemars Piguet’s next-generation in-house movement, Calibre 2950.

This timepiece masterfully combines craft and aesthetics, embodying the brand’s legacy of advancing watchmaking expertise. The iconic ‘Tapisserie’ dial design of the Royal Oak has been reimagined, now radiating from the tourbillon at 6 o’clock. The case measures 41mm in diameter and 12.5mm in thickness.

In the past, sports watches were considered practical entry-level options. However, with their recent rise as market trendsetters, high-end consumers have shifted their focus towards this segment. Mere basic features no longer suffice to meet their expectations and demands. Among the leading luxury brands’ offerings, few can match the Royal Oak Selfwinding Tourbillon’s blend of sophistication, complexity, and durability.

The tourbillon stands as a hallmark in the realm of complex watch functions, providing a striking visual impact. Meanwhile, the self-winding mechanism enhances the watch’s practicality. This release fills a niche in the high-end complex sports watch market, instantly capturing the attention of collectors and enthusiasts upon its debut.
