An authentic blend of technical and aesthetic sophistication, the Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked is an anthem to the horological mechanics cultivated by Audemars Piguet. In this model representing a daring stylistic exercise, the precision of its pulsations is determined by the regularity of its oscillations. The swing of the balance wheel coils the balance-spring until the latter reaches its maximum amplitude, and then begins to uncoil. The two balance wheels each equipped with their own balance spring are set against each other on the same axis. According to Audemars Piguet’s calculations, this particularly complex twinned system serves to achieve a one-third improvement in precision. In an ultimate touch of refinement, this horological feat is treated to an elegant stage-setting by the openworking adorning the movement, visible on both sides of the watch. Introduced in stainless steel or pink gold, while featuring a slate gray dial, applied pink gold hour-markers and luminescent hands, the Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked ensures impeccable legibility seamlessly integrated with the characteristic Audemars Piguet approach to skeletonizing.
