The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon (ref. 26730TI.OO.1320TI.02) delivers an understated yet technically remarkable evolution of the Maison’s most iconic design. Introduced in 2022 as a successor to the 50th Anniversary model, this reference distinguishes itself with a satin-brushed titanium case and a minimalist blue dial – notably forgoing the Royal Oak’s grande tapisserie motif in favour of quiet refinement.

Measuring 41mm across and bearing the model's signature angular geometry, the case is featherlight thanks to grade 5 titanium. Beating inside is the automatic calibre AP 2950 – the first time this flying tourbillon movement appears in the Royal Oak line after debuting in the CODE 11.59. With its central rotor and 65-hour power reserve, it brings efficiency to complexity, while allowing the full visual exposure of the revolving tourbillon at 6 o’clock. Water-resistance is rated to 50m.

Produced in low numbers and bridging two major models in the Royal Oak lineage, ref. 26730TI.OO.1320TI.02 occupies a distinctive space: a technically modern, tonally muted interpretation of one of watchmaking’s most recognised silhouettes, now elevated with a flying tourbillon and lightweight case architecture.
