The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked is a luxurious timepiece that epitomizes the pinnacle of horological craftsmanship. This 41 mm watch is a groundbreaking creation, introducing sand gold, a new 18-carat gold alloy that shifts between white and pink gold, offering an ever-changing aesthetic that plays with light and perspective. This unique alloy enhances the watch’s visual appeal, making it a masterpiece of both technical innovation and design.
The case of the Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked is crafted from the newly developed 18-carat sand gold, which subtly shifts in tone depending on the light and angle. The sapphire crystal and caseback are glareproofed, ensuring a clear view of both the dial and the intricate movement within.
The dial of the watch is a showcase of sophistication, featuring a sand gold-toned inner bezel that complements the white gold hour markers and hands. The luminescent coating on the hands ensures readability in low light, while the openworked design offers a captivating view of the complex movement.
The bracelet is made from the same 18-carat sand gold as the case, creating a seamless and luxurious continuity in design. It is secured with an AP folding clasp, offering both elegance and security.
The Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked is powered by the Calibre 2972, a selfwinding movement that is a marvel of modern horology.

The movement’s meticulous craftsmanship is evident in its sand gold-toned and rhodium-toned hues, which are visible through the openworked design. With a power reserve of 65 hours, this watch is as reliable as it is beautiful.

This unique watch model owes its name to the aviation pioneer Alberto Santos Dumont. It first appeared in 1904 and, as legend has it, it was created by Cartier on Santos’ order to help the Brazilian pilot keep time correctly.
The watch remained a legend and after over a hundred years, the Santos model received another incarnation. This time it is a skeleton masterpiece made of gold and steel, with a transparent case made of sapphire glass. The watch mechanism inside is unique, with elements also made of yellow gold. At first, the untrained eye will see mainly gears and intersecting strips of precious metal. Only a careful look will reveal the Roman numerals – III, VI, IX, XII located around the square center of the watch mechanism.
This unique men’s timepiece is made, along with the bracelet with gold and steel.
