Catalogue Essay
Audemars Piguet continued the expansion of the Royal Oak with the introduction of the reference 25977, a chronograph tourbillon launched in 2003 and produced until 2013 in very small numbers. A curious combination of complications, the present Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph is impressive in absolutely every sense, from its large 44mm case to the technical prowess required for its development.
Two iterations have been made for the model, a more sporty one with blue dial and red accents, perhaps inspired by “racing” dials, and the present monochrome black variation, for a more sleek livery. Powered by the manual wound caliber 2889 beating at 21,6000 vph, this highly accurate timepiece boasts a power reserve of up to 72 hours. Rarely seen on the market, the present lot is accompanied by an Audemars Piguet Certificate of Origin and Exclusivity, presentation box, and accessories.
