Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked (Silver)

Description

Overview: The design philosophy here is one of structural integrity and aesthetic audacity. The iconic octagonal bezel, secured by eight hexagonal screws, frames a dial that has been stripped away to reveal the proprietary “Double Balance Wheel” mechanism. This patented innovation involves two balance wheels and hairsprings assembled on the same axis, a system that significantly improves stability and precision. The contrast between the slate grey openworked movement and the pink gold bridge is a masterclass in industrial luxury—rugged yet refined.
