The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon Extra-Thin RD#3 (ref. 26660ST.OO.1356ST.02) delivers one of the brand’s most celebrated complications in an ultra-wearable 37mm stainless steel case, paired with a striking sunburst plum dial. Released in 2022 as a successor to the 50th Anniversary edition, this iteration continues the maison’s tradition of marrying avant-garde engineering with refined design in the Royal Oak lineage.

The watch is powered by the in-house calibre 2968, an extra-thin selfwinding movement with a flying tourbillon – carefully reconfigured to fit the compact diameter without compromising performance. Despite its slender profile, the movement maintains a robust 50-hour power reserve and is meticulously hand-finished. A transparent caseback reveals the architecture within, while the signature integrated bracelet and octagonal bezel anchor the design in Royal Oak tradition.

This version of the Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon is notable not only for its rarity in a 37mm size but also for its daring dial colour, offering collectors an unconventional twist on a technically demanding reference.
