Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon Openworked Only Watch

Only Watch is an auction established in 2005 by Luc Pettavino to raise funds for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy research. It has become a highly anticipated biennial event for both watch brands and collectors. Audemars Piguet, the luxury watchmakers, are proud to support this charitable auction by donating a unique piece called the Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked. This timepiece was unveiled in 2022 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak. It features a 41mm white ceramic case and bracelet, with a striking blue main plate and bridges.

The Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked Only Watch Edition has a design enhanced by a blue inner bezel, white gold hour-markers, and luminescent-coated hands for better visibility. The 22K gold oscillating weight is colored with blue and rhodium tones, matching its modern look. The flying tourbillon cage and rhodium-toned gear train are the centerpiece of the watch, adding depth and visual appeal. The sapphire crystal backcase reveals another view of the intricate movement, while the outer case features engravings that say “Royal Oak UNIQUE PIECE.” The Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked Only Watch Edition will be auctioned off on November 5th at the Only Watch event.
