Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph RD#5 “150th Anniversary” / 39 mm

Coinciding with the brand’s 150th anniversary, Swiss Haute Horlogerie Manufacture Audemars Piguet is thrilled to unveil the latest innovation from its Research & Development department. Combining technical sophistication, performance and iconic design with a new standard of ergonomic refinement, the Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph RD#5 marks a new era in the history of chronographs and in the evolution of complications. Requiring five years of development by AP teams, this exceptional timepiece houses the all-new Calibre 8100, whose inner workings have been entirely reimagined and patented to meet the expectations of the most discerning collectors. Every detail has been meticulously crafted, pushing the boundaries of ergonomic design to redefine the touch-sensitivity of chronograph push-pieces. Notably, the RD#5 features a rare instant jump minute counter alongside an hour counter and – for the first time in the Royal Oak collection – combines a flyback chronograph with a flying tourbillon. Limited to 150 pieces, this milestone creation is crafted from titanium and precious bulk metallic glass (BMG) to offer a balance of lightness, durability and brilliance.
