Since Audemars Piguet replica Royal Oak launched the 15500 generation in 2019, the market has begun to rise rapidly. Although it has fallen back this year, it is still the most popular among luxury sports replica watches. Under the current trend of “hype” of luxury sports watches, it is easy to create an illusion. The traditional Swiss watchmaking “troika” including Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin relies on Nautilus 5711, Royal Oak 15500, 4500V across the world to conquer the world.
Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, and Audemars Piguet are called the “troika” of traditional watchmaking because they are good at complex functions.
From ancient times to the present, there are a large number of complex replica watches. The technology and quantity of complex Replica Swiss Watches surpass those of other famous watch brands. If Patek Philippe is good at three questions in complex functions, then Audemars Piguet’s major strength is the tourbillon.
Although the tourbillon has been invented more than 200 years ago (Breguet in 1795), for a long time in history, the tourbillon was manually wound. Until 1986, Audemars Piguet launched the world’s first self-winding tourbillon, model 25643, movement model 2870. The Audemars Piguet 25643 automatic tourbillon is a self-winding ultra-thin tourbillon with a very high starting point.
The tourbillon of Audemars Piguet 25643 is located at 11 o’clock on the disk surface. It can be seen that the tourbillon uses an inverted “V”-shaped outer splint, which also laid the foundation for the shape of the Audemars Piguet tourbillon in the future.
At 6 o’clock below the dial, there is an opening window, which is the automatic tourbillon of the tourbillon. Audemars Piguet 25643 does not have an independent movement, and directly uses the bottom cover of the watch as the main splint of the movement. It is not only the first self-winding tourbillon, but also broke the record for the thinnest tourbillon at that time, and maintains this record. After 30 years, it was not until 2018 that it was broken by the ultra-thin automatic tourbillon of Bulgari OCTO Finissimo, which is very powerful. The tourbillon has also become the main function of Audemars Piguet’s complex watch.
The shape of the Audemars Piguet Tourbillon is simple and clear without any bells and whistles. The main body of the tourbillon is the “three-arm” tourbillon cage.
In 1997, Audemars Piguet began to introduce the tourbillon on the Royal Oak. This Royal Oak 50th Anniversary Skeleton Tourbillon is one of the latest models. The watch face is hollowed out in a large area, and the excess part is removed to the maximum extent. Let as much light as possible into the inside of the movement. We can see that the watch uses a flying tourbillon construction (no tourbillon outer plate), using a three-arm tourbillon cage. The upper shock absorber of the tourbillon cage is brushed in a circular shape, and the cage has three arm spokes, all chamfered and polished.
The tourbillon uses a traditional screw balance with 4 gold fine-tuning weights. It can be seen that there is no “flower life”, it is the most standard tourbillon.
In addition to the single tourbillon watch, the Audemars Piguet tourbillon is often combined with other functions. Such as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon. It should be noted that the “concept” here is a name. The Audemars Piguet Concept Tourbillon was originally launched in 2002. The latest version is this green ceramic ring version (titanium case).
The Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon mainly has a very avant-garde design, but in essence, it is a two-time tourbillon. The window at 3 o’clock on the dial is adjusted by the button at 4 o’clock of the case when it is in two places;
HNR at 6 o’clock is a crown position indication, N is the screw-in state of the crown,
R is the status of the crown popping out and can be wound, H It is the crown that pulls out a gear to adjust the time state. We can see that the tourbillon at 9 o’clock is also a flying tourbillon,
using Audemars Piguet’s standard three-arm tourbillon cage and a screw balance.
Whether it is the Royal Oak Openwork Tourbillon or the Concept Tourbillon, we can see that behind the cool appearance,
the tourbillon uses traditional construction and traditional polishing decoration.
