Audemars Piguet 25977OR Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph 18K RG Black Dial

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph ref. 25977OR.OO.D002CR.01 is a commanding expression of haute horlogerie, combining two of the most revered complications in a single 44 mm Royal Oak case. Launched in the early 2000s and produced in extremely limited numbers, this model features the hand‑wound calibre 2889, a column‑wheel chronograph paired with a one‑minute tourbillon, delivering both precision and visual drama. The 18K rose gold case, with its iconic octagonal bezel and Grande Tapisserie black dial, exudes the refined contrast AP collectors prize. Measuring 12.9 mm thick and spanning 58 mm lug‑to‑lug, the proportions offer both presence and wearability. The movement, visible through the sapphire display back, is meticulously finished with Côtes de Genève, anglage, and polished screw heads, underscoring AP’s artisanal pedigree. Water resistant to a modest 20 meters, this is a watch designed for connoisseurs who value technical mastery over rugged utility. Its rarity and the dual complication combination make it highly sought after among seasoned collectors. This is not merely a timekeeper; it is a statement of mechanical artistry and Royal Oak heritage. Excellent condition with Audemars Piguet box and papers dated 2010.
