Speak with a specialist about this piece:

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26545XT.OO.1240XT.01 Extra-Thin Flying Tourbillon Chronograph stands out because it combines multiple flagship complications into a case that’s thin and wearable, something very few brands can pull off at this level. Limited to just 150 pieces, the 26545XT RD5 is a showcase of Audemars Piguet pushing the Royal Oak design to its limits while keeping it unmistakably modern. The full titanium construction paired with a deep blue dial gives it a stealthy, contemporary look that feels purpose-built rather than flashy.

What really draws attention is how clean and balanced the watch feels despite everything going on. The chronograph layout is easy to understand at a glance, while the flying tourbillon at six o’clock adds a strong visual anchor without overpowering the dial. The extra-thin profile makes it wear far more comfortably than most high-complication Royal Oaks, and the integrated titanium bracelet keeps it lightweight on the wrist. 

*This is a limited edition of 150 pieces.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ref. 26545XT.OO.1240XT.01 “RD5” is a landmark achievement in modern high-complication watchmaking, uniting a flying tourbillon and a chronograph within an ultra-thin Royal Oak case. Limited to just 150 pieces, this titanium reference represents the culmination of Audemars Piguet’s Research & Development program, pushing the boundaries of what is mechanically possible in a sports watch. At 41mm, the watch maintains the classic Royal Oak proportions while achieving an unprecedented level of thinness for such a complex construction.

Crafted entirely in titanium, the case and integrated bracelet deliver exceptional lightness and comfort, reinforcing the RD5’s performance-driven character. The blue “Grande Tapisserie” dial provides depth and texture, serving as a crisp backdrop for the chronograph subdials and the flying tourbillon aperture at 6 o’clock. Despite the complexity on display, the dial remains remarkably balanced and legible, with polished hour markers and hands providing contrast against the blue surface. The exposed tourbillon adds a visual focal point without disrupting the symmetry of the layout.

What sets the RD5 apart is its fully integrated approach: the chronograph and flying tourbillon were engineered into a single ultra-thin architecture rather than layered as modules, preserving structural integrity while dramatically reducing thickness. This achievement places the 26545XT among the most technically significant Royal Oaks ever produced.
