Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet Skeleton Tourbillon watch

The Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet Skeleton Tourbillon watch is a superb luxury timepiece that reveals the full glory of high watchmaking's most celebrated complication. Invented at the turn of the 18th century the ingenious tourbillon complication has been celebrated equally for its ingenious technical brilliance and the challenge it presents to the gifted, highly skilled watchmaker---the type of challenge relished by Audemars Piguet since 1875.

The manually wound movement inside the Edward Piguet Skeleton Tourbillon watch is a true masterpiece of haute de gamme craftsmanship, not only because of its fine tourbillon complication, but also due to its beautiful skeletonized bridge structure. The 2881 caliber movement has been reduced to its minimum to support the structure of the mechanism, allowing a deep view into the watch's heart. Additionally, the bridges have been elaborated with fine engraved patterns, and plated with pink gold.

The tourbillon device, which completes a revolution each minute, is mounted on a finely-polished steel bridge, and features a screw-weighted balance wheel and a Breguet overcoil hairspring. Additional technical features of note in this fine Audemars Piguet movement include a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, and exceptionally fine finish quality on the bridges, and screw, and jewel settings.

The Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet Skeleton Tourbillon watch is produced in a stunning rectangular case crafted from 18K pink gold or platinum. Both extravagant and extremely elegant, this case, inherent to all watches within the Edward Piguet collection, displays a remarkable contrast between brushed and polished surfaces, as well as a distinct subtle curved profile, which also involves the sapphire crystal. Elegant black-oxidized gold leaf hands complete this stately timepiece, and harmonize perfectly with the Breguet-style numerals. The Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet Skeleton Tourbillon watch is completed by a fine, remborded crocodile strap and a pink gold folding clasp whose shape is that of the Audemars Piguet initials.
