The Audemars Piguet Ladies' Jules Audemars Tourbillon watch is animated by an extraordinary manually wound movement, the Audemars Piguet 2906 Caliber. Visible through the exhibition sapphire caseback, this mechanism reveals exceptional detail to finish in the most minute of details. The intricately shaped bridges reveal a unique decorative pattern that is unique to this model, consisting of spiral motifs which radiate outward from jewel and screw-settings; additionally, the edges of each bridge sparkle with the traditional beveling technique known as "anglage". The settings for each jewel and screw are counter-sunk and beveled, and each individual screw is polished numerous times for a stunning finish. The centerpiece of the movement, the tourbillon complication, completes a single revolution each minute, bearing the balance wheel and escapement inside its finely finished cage, which displays flawlessly finished steel parts whose edges have been entirely chamfered by hand. Additional technical features of note for this very exclusive movement include a lengthy power reserve of approximately 78 hours, and a screw-adjustable balance wheel equipped with a traditionally desirable Breguet overcoil hairspring.
