The Pinnacle of Innovation in Audemars Piguet s Royal Oak Concept Series
In the dazzling galaxy of high-end wristwatches, the Royal Oak Concept series of Audemars Piguet (AP for short) is undoubtedly the most avant-garde and eye-catching presence. Over the years, this series has continuously introduced new models, leading the trend in the watchmaking industry with its unique designs and advanced technologies. The Royal Oak Concept series has always been renowned for its complex functions. In the past, it has launched various combinations of functions, including the exquisite integration of the tourbillon and the chronograph. However, the wristwatch we are about to introduce today differs significantly from previous chronograph tourbillon models in terms of movement structure, function configuration, and dial display. It is worth noting that the automatic winding mechanism is applied to the Royal Oak Concept series for the first time in this wristwatch, and it features a unique ring-shaped rotor design, demonstrating its strong innovativeness in all aspects. Looking at other products under Audemars Piguet, in the past, the Offshore series also launched an automatic chronograph tourbillon with the same configuration, and it also used a ring-shaped rotor. However, after a careful comparison, it is not difficult to find that the winding mechanisms of these two wristwatches are completely different. Therefore, this Royal Oak Concept wristwatch is still a brand-new timepiece with unique value.The ring-shaped rotor of this wristwatch is ingeniously installed on the dial side of the movement. Paired with the open-worked design, it allows users to directly admire its exquisite winding mechanism from the front. The outermost layer of the dial is the scale, and the inner layer is the ring-shaped rotor. As long as the posture of the wristwatch is slightly changed, you can see a half-circle of the platinum-weighted rotor orbiting around the periphery of the movement. Currently, most ring-shaped rotors on the market are fixed by ball bearings in a three-point manner from the inside. In this wristwatch, the positions of the three ball bearings are ingenious - one at the 8 o clock position is hidden under the parts, and the one slightly to the right of 12 o clock is mostly covered by the gear. Only the ball bearing between 4 and 5 o clock is completely exposed and clearly visible. The most eye-catching part is the automatic wheel at the 12 o clock position. From the dial, you can clearly see it meshing with the rack on the inner edge of the ring-shaped rotor. Once the rotor moves, the gear will rotate accordingly, perfectly demonstrating the operating principle of the ring-shaped automatic winding mechanism. Of course, the most core function of this wristwatch is the tourbillon device located at the 6 o clock position. Different from most tourbillons in the Royal Oak Concept series, which are set at the 9 o clock position, it is fixed from the front by a cross-bridge. The movement bridges of this watch extensively adopt a geometric wing shape similar to that of a stealth fighter. From the dial, you can clearly see the tourbillon bridge, the automatic wheel bridge, and the bridge under the small second hand at the 9 o clock position. These parts not only have a polygonal contour but also present a 3D polyhedral shape. Such a complex three-dimensional bridge design, although extremely difficult to process, undoubtedly succeeds in creating a strong sense of technology and a futuristic feel for the wristwatch.New AP Royal Oak Concept Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Series Equipped with the 2949 automatic winding mechanical movement, an outer ring-shaped platinum balance weight, and featuring a tourbillon and chronograph functions.
