Catalogue Essay
O‘ver the years, the brand has introduced numerous variations of the Royal Oak, exploring different case sizes, materials, dial treatments, and complications.
The present Royal Oak Tourbillon is among the few models released featuring a manually wound movement. This exceptionally rare special edition was exclusively crafted for the Japanese market, with only 45 pieces have been made. It showcases a black dial adorned with a delicate “petite tapisserie” pattern, reminiscent of the original Royal Oak “Jumbo” dials from the 1970s.
The 41mm case boasts a sapphire caseback engraved with “Special Edition”, providing a glimpse of the exquisitely finished caliber 2924 inside. With a power reserve of 70 hours, the prestigious, ultra-thin movement is complemented by an extra-flat tourbillon carriage, visible through an aperture at 6 o’clock on the dial.
Presented in excellent condition and complete with all original accessories, including the warranty and presentation box, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an extraordinary Royal Oak tourbillon.
