Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Extra-Thin 37 mm - cutting edge of micro-mechanics
By SENATUS Editor | 30 December 2022

Enriched with an unprecedented plum dial, the new Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Extra-Thin 37 mm interweaves technical complexity with aesthetic details for extreme refinement. The architecture of the mechanism was completely redesigned.

On the dial side, the geometry and positioning of the balance wheel arms have been modified to make the beating heart even more perceptible.

On the caseback side, the bridges have been openworked to unveil the movement’s inner workings, while achieving a harmonious and symmetrical aesthetic.

At the heart of the Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Extra-Thin 37 mm is Calibre 2968, an innovative ultra-thin selfwinding flying tourbillon movement, 3.4 mm thick, a complication previously reserved for our 41 mm diameter timepieces.

Given the restricted space available, the flying tourbillon movement had to be creatively rethought to reduce its thickness, while retaining the initial proportions of its cage, leading to the repositioning of certain components. The titanium tourbillon cage is notably equipped for the first time with a peripheral drive, contributing to its thinness.
