Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept 26587TI.OO.D067CA.01 Tourbillon Chronograph Titanium Openworked Dial (2018)

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept 26587TI.OO.D067CA.01 is a masterwork of modern watchmaking, featuring a substantial 44 mm tonneau case made of micro-blasted titanium. Its defining characteristic is the integrated skeleton dial, which offers a compelling, unobstructed view of the mechanical heart within. This architectural openness proudly displays the tourbillon at the 6 o’clock position and the sophisticated column-wheel chronograph mechanism, revealing the intricate layout of the gear trains, architectural bridges, and multi-level finishing. This deliberate exposure creates a visually stunning blend of industrial rigor and refined elegance.

This exceptional openwork design is not just for aesthetics; it provides an intimate look at the watch’s dynamic operation. From the front, one can admire the continuous, mesmerizing balance oscillation of the tourbillon, which is beautifully synchronized with the precise interaction of the chronograph as it operates across the dial. This level of transparency offers a rare and engaging experience for the wearer, allowing them to fully appreciate the complex dance of components that powers the timepiece.

Despite its bold scale and high level of technical complexity, the 26587TI is engineered for both performance and wearability. It offers water resistance up to 100 m and incorporates thoughtful ergonomic touches to ensure comfort on the wrist. This model perfectly encapsulates a balance between technical audacity and wearable complexity, making it an ideal choice for dedicated collectors. It appeals to those who seek a timepiece that delivers substance, structural innovation, and significant complication all within one strikingly contemporary silhouette.
