Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon Chronograph Openworked Selfwinding Titanium — Skeleton Dial | Ref. 26587TI.OO.D010CA.01

The Royal Oak Concept series exists at the furthest frontier of Audemars Piguet's technical imagination — a laboratory where the manufacture's engineers are given latitude to disrupt convention entirely. Ref. 26587TI.OO.D010CA.01 synthesises three of watchmaking's most demanding complications within a 44 mm titanium case: a flying tourbillon, a flyback chronograph and a fully openworked architecture that renders every component visible from dial to caseback.

The movement within — a bespoke automatic calibre developed specifically for the Concept line — incorporates a skeletonised mainplate and bridges machined to skeletal precision, leaving the tourbillon cage, column wheel and chronograph mechanism exposed in three dimensions. Titanium, chosen for its combination of extreme hardness and minimal weight, allows the 44 mm case to wear with remarkable ease despite its visual presence. The screw-down crown maintains case integrity, while the rubber strap secured by a tang buckle keeps the piece firmly in sporting territory.

Supplied with box and papers, Ref. 26587TI.OO.D010CA.01 is a limited-production Grand Complication that transcends the conventional boundaries between watch and mechanical sculpture. For the apex collector seeking the most technically complex Royal Oak in existence — one that demands conversation and rewards sustained study — this Concept Tourbillon Chronograph is without peer in the contemporary Audemars Piguet catalogue.
