Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon (Blue)

The Royal Oak's automatic tourbillon history ran for decades on a thin peripheral-rotor calibre, until this generation borrowed Calibre 2950, a full-rotor flying tourbillon that actually debuted in the more experimental Code 11.59 line and only migrated into the Royal Oak case afterward. It sits in the upper-middle of AP's complicated Royal Oak hierarchy, a genuine flying tourbillon in the brand's signature integrated bracelet case, priced well below the openworked and perpetual calendar tourbillons but a clear step above the time-only Selfwinding.

This Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon wears a 41mm rose gold case with a smoked blue Grande Tapisserie dial. Calibre 2950 inside, on its own integrated rose gold bracelet.

Fun fact: the previous execution of this exact watch shipped with an oscillating weight engraved with a large "50" to mark the Royal Oak's 50th anniversary, visible through the sapphire caseback. Once that anniversary run ended, AP swapped in its standard weight and re-issued the identical watch under this reference.
